O.B. ULTRA tampons discontinued...I am outraged!! Need your help calling them!!

**jalex** · 01-07-2011, 08:42 AM

Soo..men might think of it as funny..but I am sure as hell don't think it is. I can't use the applicator ones and never did.
For a year or so I have a pretty heavy period and so..the Ultra ones are the only ones I can use without having to change it every hour..and that is without walking around..
Which means without them..shopping will be only possible with extra pad!!!!! WTF?
I called O.B. and they apologized..but yes..they discontinued the product....but maybe if enough people complain, they will bring it back..
That is where you would come in...I beg you to call them and complain..

The number is 1-877-454-7843 (0 for costumer service) anytime Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm EST

I would really appreciate if you could do that ...Thanks!!!!!!!!

Perhaps you should consider stocking up if you can find places that still have some stock left.

I am fortunate that I no longer need these tampons. I used to only use O.B. as well. I would be stocking up like crazy like Elaine did with the sponge on Seinfeld.

I did..and had boxes..but now..they are coming to an end..and there are nowhere to be found!!! they are selling a 40 count box on ebay for 130 DOLLARS!!!! WTF>?

Thankfully I don't need them anymore either. I did do some searching and found this, it is alternatives for the O.B. Ultra Tampons
http://healthmad.com/women/alternati...bency-tampons/
The brand Lil-lets Super Plus Extra tampons, I did find it in a grocery store and from reading the terms and conditions it looks like they will ship to other countries. Here is the link to the tampons http://britishonlinesupermarket.com/...g/tampons.html ,you can check the terms and conditions and maybe you can find them someplace else. Hope this helps you out some. Pretty bad when you might have to buy tampons out of country because they don't make them here.

I have looked online too...but came up with nothing..might be the panic!!

I will check them out...I also called my Mom in germany and she will look too...like you said..it's sad I have to look outside the country to get tampons!!!

kmart shows them for 6.99 for 40...maybe you can grab them there (online)

I don't use them any more either -- I also just wanted to add that if you recently started bleeding heavy like that you might want to tell your dr there are things that can be done to help alleviate it

**gmyers** · 01-07-2011, 03:56 PM

Thats what I was thinking. My sister was bleeding really heavy and they had to do a hysterectomy on her to stop it. I hope you find what you need.

**jasmine** · 01-07-2011, 07:49 PM

I'm sorry, it sucks when they discontinue a product that you use, and really need/like!! I know that the only kind that work for me is the kotex ones, I guess it's something about the shape or something? I hope you can find them.

***ahippiechic*** · 01-08-2011, 03:08 PM

I only use OB, but not the Ultra. Sux that they discontinued them.
