Do you know what is in your period products? If not, maybe you should look closer and try going more organic.
While most tampons/pads are mainly cotton, they can have additives (if not organic tampons/pads), which can be really harmful to you. BPA, Fragrance, and Titanium Dioxide are ingredients to look for and avoid. However, because tampons are considered medical devices, there's no labeling requirement for ingredients, which can make it difficult to know what you are buying.
In general, you want to avoid any fragrance, and an organic 100-percent cotton tampon is your best bet. Organic cotton tampons are free of dyes, plastics, bleach, fragrances, and pesticide-treated cotton, while cotton blends may contain any of those ingredients.
I advocate so much for menstrual cups and discs because they are usually made from 100% medical-grade silicone: no additives, no fragrances, just 1 simple ingredient that is easy to understand. And as a plus, it is way better for the planet!
