Period products and possible risks

In addition to period underwear, there are other menstrual products, but some may contain substances that are not well tolerated by everyone. Traditional products such as tampons and sanitary towels can contain bleach, perfumes and other chemicals, which can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some people. Tampons carry a small risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), especially with prolonged use (more than 8 hours) or if they are too absorbent. This is due to bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus , which can produce toxins and cause serious symptoms such as fever, low blood pressure and rash. Changing them regularly and choosing the right absorbency level helps to reduce this risk. Studies show that conventional menstrual products can contain traces of dioxins and pesticides, which can have health effects. Although these concentrations are usually low, some people prefer to use a more natural alternative such as period underwear. The most important thing is to choose what feels right for your body and health, but if you choose to use tampons, change them regularly.
