Latest Whisper in Chennai : P&G Launches Tampax

WhiteArrow News Service, Chennai, April 2000.

 

Procter & Gamble hygiene & Health Care has launched for the first time in Asean-Australia-Asia region, Tampax, a quality Tampon for the Indian woman, in the markets of Chennai and Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. The feminine brand is being launched in four variants - regular, Super, Super Plus and Multi-Pack.

 

Tampax has been rated as one of the 100 greatest product innovations of the century as reported by Time Magazine. Accepted by millions of women globally, and sold in more than 120 countries, Tampax consists of an absorbent pad, a non-woven over wrap made of cotton/rayon blend or rayon fibres and a removal cord which is coated with an anti-wetting agent. The size of the absorbent pad is dependent on the tampon absorbency and the removal cord helps remove the tampon easily and conveniently. the applicator helps to insert the tampon in the right place smoothly and provides better hygiene.

 

Tampax provides the Indian woman with a level of physical and psychological benefits during the menstrual cycle hitherto unknown to the Indian woman. When inserted in to the body, Tampax absorbs menses at the source and prevents leakage thereby giving the user ultimate protection. Since the product works from within, there is much less chance of menstruation odor. The strong absorbency of the product leaves the user feeling clean about her body. Also, there is no incidence of bunching and shifting like in the case of cloth or ordinary pads as Tampax fits perfectly inside the body. Tampax allows the woman freedom to pursue normal everyday activities during her period just like she does on other days. It also offers the user a feeling of wearing almost nothing at all and hence almost makes her forget her periods.

 

Mr Vijay S, Marketing director says, Tampax is yet another milestone in our endeavor to improve the lives of Indian women. The consumer can now avail of a product that offers a greater sense of freedom, hygiene, comfort and convenience. With the introduction of Tampax, we are making available to the Indian women the same excellent choices of menstrual protection that we offer women around the world.

 

The Regular Tampax is priced at Rs 68, Super at Rs 72, Super plus at Rs 75 (all for a pack of 8 Tampons each) and the Multi Pack for Rs 120 (for a pack of 15 Tampons).
