If you're a fan of OB Tampons, better start your hoarding. They have been taken off the shelves and won't return until 2011, due to an unspecified "manufacturing update."
OB Tampons are different from other tampons because there is no applicator. Also, they get wider as they absorb instead of getting longer. You can wiggle the string at the bottom back and forth to push out the bottom sides, creating a flare-out for more absorbency and a better fit.
For those who stick with one brand of tampon, finding a blank space on the store shelf where you expect to find your favorite tampon can be a bit of an aggravation. Brand loyalty is high enough that three boxes of 40-count OB Tampons are going for $119 on eBay right now. A single box usually retails at $8.

Other options include The Keeper and The Diva Cup, both of which are reusable menstrual cups that are worn internally.
