As we all know, for some reason Dubai does not stock the Tampax plastic applicator tampons, but the Boots own brand plastic applicator tampons are exactly the same.

Problem is, they're sold out at MOE, Marina Mall and IBN Battuta, and it's been like this for literally 3 weeks. All they keep saying is they've ordered them, but they've just not arrived yet.

Anyone know of another branch of Boots that have got them in stock?

The cardboard applicator ones just don't really do it for me. Not enough grip...

Along the same lines has anyone seen the 'light' ones with applicator for my DD? I can only find reg, super or superplus. TIA Are they the pink boxed ones? I have never seen them but will look when I go to the shop at lunch I'm not sure. She is not fussy about the brand. Thanks for checking. The best I have been able to find here is a mixed box that has something like 8 light and 12 regular tampons. I stocked up on light ones last time I went overseas but there is a limit to what you can bring!

Al Maya at the DIFC stock Tampax in reg/super and super plus Perhaps try the Al Mayas

PARK AND SHOP and Choitrams usually have good selection. I have bought Tampax Pearl plastic applicator tampons in P&S and both stock the Playtex brand which are equally good <em>edited by kitten67 on 06/05/2014</em>

Morning have you tried the Playtex brand? They also are quite good and have the plastic applicator. You can find them in Spinney, Waitros or the pharmacies.
