When my period hits i reach for the cheapest and most convenient products for my needs, and have done for years. These are normally Tampax Tampons. Not only are these clogging up the landfills, they also contain materials that can be harmful to the body and cause all different types of medical problems and skin conditions!
I have always used Tampax, my mother uses it and I'm pretty sure the majority of females in my family use them too along with friends. After i posted a little rant on instagram i was informed that it is more than one company that use harsh materials in their 'natural' products. So i done some digging on Tampax, to find they use bleach in their raw materials. This information was only available online, it is not on their packaging nor their information leaflets at all. This made me think about all the up roar there is about tampons and Toxic Shock Syndrome, as there is more than enough information on the Tampax leaflets about it.
