Tampons and migranes.

[testytree]

I switched to organic tampons this month after finding out that normal tampons are BLEACHED WITH DIOXIN!!!!  It's a type of chlorine.  I have to tell all the women in my life....You need to switch if you use tampax or any other major brand named tampon.  They are fucking toxic

Yeah tampons are fucked. I mean no wonder they warn you about toxic shock syndrom. I had a friend who decided to make her own maxi pads because they're really not any better either.

I've been thinking about the homemade maxi thing. I'm not sure I'm ready to go there yet.

O. M. G.

oh that explains so much!!! i'm allergic to chlorine products. so many things make sense now.

god i cannot believe that sort of thing isn't regulated. i never thought i was sticking absorbent poison in there . . . i mean, i figured people were careful about that sort of thing, these are private parts, after all.

thank you a hundred thousand times!

No problem. I can't belive I spent so many years sticking cancer sticks into my most sesitive part. I've been thinking about this and even my sex drive is up this month.

shit....

do OB use that chlorine bleach????

Those are the only tampons I like, as they absorb the most

[testytree]

Yup. All of them do unless it states on the box they don't.

Hmm. I'm going to go grab my box... I think it's Kotex. Fuck. I've one in now... ::ugh:: That's making me wiggle.

I think I need to go to the bathroom. Sorry for the TMI. But Ugh.

[testytree]

If it's Kotex, it's bleached. It does make you wiggy. I know exactly how you feel.

[rottnpagan]

Ugh.

I use cotton now.

[testytree]

Me too!

Tampons have actually caused me BIG problems. I'm not allowed to use them anymore. :(

[testytree]

I'm thinking of switching to a cup.
