We care about everything we put in our bodies so why should tampons be any different? Did you know that tampon brands are not legally required to disclose actual tampon ingredients on their packaging?
As it turns out, most tampons and feminine hygiene products are made using artificial fibers, polyester, rayon, not to mention the additional chemicals involved in the manufacturing process. WOW!
Used every month, the average woman will use 15,000 tampons and pads over the course of her life and these less than natural ingredients could have some serious side effects. No research has been conducted on the long-term effects of artificial fibers in tampons. Crazy, right?
Here are some of my favorites.
