Hey! That's my doctor!!!! She's the absolute best doctor ever.❤
There must be a BIG lawsuit pending. Because this has been public knowledge for years. I myself only use cotton pads...
They aren't much better. They are made from the same materials, from the same sources by the same companies and in the same facilities. The only difference is that we don't ram them up our wazoo. Remember, baby powder (external) was causing cancer in women.
@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059 yeah but the main ingredients is cotton. You dont see all the the toxins listed & my periods go light & more manageable when I started using them also.
@@chelseagriffin3148 The main ingredient in tampons is cotton too!!!!!!
I hope everyone is doing well and if theyre safe from the heavy metal material.
So basically just “nah, no need for concern… just keep using them” 🤦♀️
Smh
I'm transgender and I use cloth pads to avoid toxic shock syndrome and other toxins from pads and tampons that are disposable. They also work and absorb really well. The final benefit is the cost, you pay upfront for the cloth pads and then you launder them in the washing machine and either air dry and or dryer. They are not filthy to clean, so please consider cloth pads as a way to stay away from disposables.
This is crazy! Tampons have been giving me issues for at least two years. So disappointing.
Use pads
This is absolutely crazy. You find out when there are toxic metals in women, women's feminine products for their menstrual cycles. And you don't think that's Cos 4 concern because they've been around for a long time, maybe that's why women act so weird at times around their periods or there. Menstrual cycles and they get extremely irritated and act absolutely out of control with attitude behavior. End an argument ways that no wonder it must be driving them all crazy to be poisoned with these toxic chemicals in these particular products that they're using.And you tell me that there's no need for concern.You gotta be kidding me
Men have pms too
I absolutely do not want children so I really don’t worry for mysel, but I can’t imagine those toxic metals being good for your reproductive system.
I only pads. I hate tampons. They give me infections
@@ceceprincess4758 pads have these chemicals too I believe. Or at least they have titanium dioxide.

Terrible
I’ve never understood the usage of these things - damming up your menstrual flow never seemed wise to me. 🤧 cotton napkins only.

Y would u want to even use a tampon? They are so nasty.
Pads are too
Bro what else are we supposed to do? Free bleed?
Ur nasty
@@insertusernamehere3173 Oh my god.. Imagine the look on some faces (especially squeamish men) if all women were to boycott feminine hygiene products for just a month and all women just free bled all over the place for a week when they were supposed to be "on the rag"... Bus seats, restaurant seats, car seats, bloody trousers/skirts visible, just gore, gore and more gore and a horror show for squeamish men who would never buy a box of tampons/pads for thier woman if thier life depended on it.... Would be a comedy for us menstruators though.... I'd be dying laughing. We'd all know who the mature men were too. They'd be the guys buying them and passing them out on street corners.
