I must admit my understanding of this is somewhat vague, it's just that sanitory pad is all I've observed.

my cousin came to visit and bought a big batch when she was going back. im guessing its expensive in Nigeria, i also bought her the feminine soaps spray and talcum powder. Im sure theyll all be available just a little hard to find. The market for these things have only just grown anyway, it's not like theyve been a big thing for that long. Other countries will eventually catch on.

tampons are amazing! ever since i started i havent been able to stop!

You're right. Someone is probably looking at this thread and thinking "what a business opportunity".

I think it will be- these feminine products are doing very well people are swearing by it. My cousin said a box of tampax is around 1500 in Nigeria, you can probably get it for half the price here.

and there are other brands, especially the store brands some of which are better and very cheap.

these are the little little things making retailers money nowadays.

I think some people don't really know what it is, and I couldn't agree more anyway.

Tampax isn't made in nigeria o,I don't think any tampons are made here yet! So u had doubts before ehn Dami?
Re: Do Nigerian Women Use Tampon? by damilola15: 9:16am On Jun 21, 2012
No, it isn't made in Nigeria, but I googled Tampax Nigeria so any thing between Tampax and Nigeria would come up.
I don't doubt you but I'm a "seeing is believing" type. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin So I guess some disbelieve holds.
My conclusion is that if there are any on the Nigerian market, it would be imported by some elite store.
