Tampax Has Not Made Their Tampons Smaller, Despite Social Media Claims [Video]

Tampon brand Tampax has not shrunk the size of their menstrual products, the brand confirms to PEOPLE after a TikTok video has racked up millions of views claiming the opposite.

In the video from April, which currently has 2.4 million views, user Melissa Simonson claims that the sizes that the brand advertises are no longer accurate “because you shrunk them.” Simonson makes videos about marketing on her TikTok page, which has 24.9K followers.

Users on Reddit have also accused the brand of shrinking their sizes and packaging. One Reddit post includes a photo that compared two, regular-sized Tampax Pearl tampons (Simonson also includes this image in her TikTok video).

A spokesperson at Procter & Gamble, Tampax’s parent company tells PEOPLE in a statement, however, that the brand has not changed the size of its tampons.
