Toxic Metals in Tampons: Why Switch to Reusable Menstrual Panties?

on Jul 15 2024

🚨 Sanitary tampons: a health hazard?

Used by millions of women every month, tampons are supposed to provide reliable and comfortable protection. However, recent studies reveal the presence of heavy metals and toxic substances in their composition. These components, often absorbed by the body, can have harmful effects on health.


⚠️ What toxic metals are found in tampons?

Several analyses have highlighted the presence of potentially harmful substances in certain disposable tampons:

🔸 Aluminum : Present in some chemically bleached tampons, it can disrupt the hormonal system.

🔸 Lead and mercury : Identified in tiny traces, but regularly exposed to the body, they accumulate over time.

🔸 Dioxins : Resulting from chlorine bleaching, they are classified as potential carcinogens.

These components enter the body directly through the vaginal mucosa, a highly permeable area, which poses serious risks to female health.


🚫 The consequences of these toxic substances on health

Repeated exposure to these toxins can lead to:

Hormonal imbalances : Impacting the menstrual cycle and can cause fertility problems.

Vaginal irritations and infections : Prolonged use of chemical tampons can disrupt the intimate flora.

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) : Serious infection caused by the proliferation of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus , favored by chemical components.
