Next time you reach for a box of tampons, be sure to keep your eye out especially for these 4 ingredients....
If you're using regular tampons, you are putting pesticides, chlorine, fragrance, and other harmful chemicals inside an area of your body that is super absorbent. There is not enough research to know for sure the long term effects our chemical filled tampons are having on our bodies. Considering we use around 11,000 tampons in our lifetime on average, this could potentially cause a lot of damage over time. Switch to organic tampons- your body and your vagina will thank you.
Next time you reach for a box of tampons, be sure to keep your eye out especially for these 4 ingredients:
Rayon
Rayon is associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome, which is a serious medical condition that can cause organ damage or worse if not treated.
Dioxin
Dioxin which is the result of chlorine processing, causes hormone disruption and can affect your immune system.
Non-organic cotton
Genetically modified cotton is meant to be resistant to pesticides and herbicides. This allows it to sprayed much more heavily with chemicals which leads to the danger of residue left of the cotton.
Fragrances
Fragrances are essentially a cocktail of harmful ingredients, and companies don't have to list what they are actually using under the term "fragrance".
