It’s been 25 years since I wore a maxi pad. I HATED them. They felt like a huge bulky diaper. The moment I got over my fear to insert a tampon, I never turned back. Fast Forward to me being a 36 year old woman with a LOT of Uterine issues….I started reading up on Tampons and was a little shocked and saddened at my lack of awareness of what I keep inserting into my body every month. I had always heard of toxic shock syndrome, but I don’t think I ever really cared. Upon looking it up, I realized it simply wasn’t worth the risk. Maybe If I go swimming or something, I’ll cork it…but daily? Nightly? I think I am going to pass.
Then, I realized it is the FDA saying Tampons are SAFE. The very people who told me my breast implants were safe. They’re NOT. Why would I trust a corrupt organization swayed by bribes to take advantage of women to look out for what is best with my vagina? They certainly didn’t care that I could develop a rare form of STAGE 4 LYMPHOMA from my breast implants! Just like with breast implants, not many studies…or certainly, not enough to satisfy MY desires have taken place to prove this is safe. Why on EARTH would there not be TONS of studies on an object millions upon millions of women insert into their body for a week each month? Corruption is the only answer I could think of.
What exactly are we shoving up our cunt that the FDA says is good? Tampons contain Rayon, polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester which make up their outter layer. Uh. ok? Also, because Tampons are considered a medical device by the lovely FDA…wait for it… MANUFACTURES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A FULL DISCLOSURE OF WHAT IS IN THEM! This killed me. This is exactly what they do with toxic breast implants. Fuck you, FDA! They contain GMO’s, which many don’t even want to EAT. “Tampons have odor neutralizers, dyes, pesticides and fragrances, which have an undisclosed mixture of chemicals that have been linked to endocrine disrupters, allergies, rashes, respiratory distress, cancer, birth defects, dryness and infertility.” INFERTILITY. that was the word that hit me hardest…considering….
Our vaginal wall is super thin and allows things to seep into our blood stream. A maxi pad is not rubbing all over the inside of your ORGANS! I dont care if it’s made out of FARTS, common sense tells me it is the safer alternative
So, my verdict? FUCK YOU, TAMPONS!
While I appreciate that you will be around for a quick fix once in a blue moon, I am done with you.
DO NOT suggest shoving cups up my cunt as an alternative. I have NO desire to fish around my vagina hole for silicone cups! I’ve heard some real horror stories, and I am pretty much DONE inserting SILICONE objects into my body! Plus, maxi pads have come a LONG way. They are super thin and tolerable now.

A young girl I know almost died from TSS using tampons. She or her mom were not aware. She was lucky a specialist was called in on her case, cause no one could figure out what was wrong
Use pads Always has a good line of them with different sizes for different flows
Stayfree Ultra Thin Overnight.
Trust me
Gladly I’m passed all of this but have u thought about the diva cup? A lot of my younger friends swear by it
I just switched over from tampons to thinx. They are period undies. They have an absorbing layer that is machine washable and keeps you dry without feeling like a diaper.
I’ve always used pads(except for swimming) just because I’m less aware of them than a tampon inside me. I do have to watch the material as I have sensitive skin and noticed some of them give me irritation after wearing a few days. Right now I like Always Radiant with flex foam
100% agree
its silicone…and im not into fingering myself during bleeding times 😛
My doctor told me it was called a menstrual flow for a reason. It is naturally supposed to flow out of you not be stored up inside of you.
I only use organic cotton tampons and pads!! And I absolutely love the menstrual cup! Definitely not like fingering yourself lol! Not much different than a tampon except you empty it instead of flushing. Just a thought!
I always say my hole is reserved for one thing to enter…..my husband loves that hahaha.
I have endo and I bleed beyond words I’m getting my uterus out I can’t stand the feeling of blood coming out of me! I can’t wait to be done with tampons and lads I have to wear both my poor grandma wore 7 pads as a girl so awful. My poor mom has silicon implants that burst and her dr is dead he died riding his bike into a pole and her insurance won’t take them out and they KILL HER ugh
I stopped using tampons right after I tried them when I was 18 and got toxic shock. Feminine hygiene has been under attack for almost 100 years. There’s a commercial out from vagisil now that says ” feminine itch is more common than the common cold.” It’s bullshit. If you Google “old feminine hygiene ads” they used to have women thinking they had to douche with Listerine and Lysol. I once had to go to the e.r. from vaginal discomfort and the head of the e.r. came in and begged me to stop douching. He said I was destroying my pH and soap & water was all that was necessary. He said no woman should douche more than 4 times a year and only with water. I feel like there’s so much misinformation that’s meant to make women paranoid about our vaginas just to sell things.
I’m like a fucking dinosaur. My GFS have always made fun of me for wearing pads….I don’t give a fuck. I only want one thing up my vag and it ain’t a tampon. One clue….it ryhmes with lock….😝😂
As a young girl I read about TSS and that was enough to scare the crap out of me and never use tampons. And honestly, unless you’re a filthy person that doesn’t bathe or keep the lady parts clean during that time of the month no one will know you’re wearing a pad.
I was married for 5years, things started
getting ugly and we had fights and arguments
almost every time… it got worse at a point
that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to
make him change his mind & stay with me. he
moved out of the house and still went ahead to
file for divorce… I pleaded and tried
everything but still nothing worked. The
breakthrough came when someone introduced me to
this wonderful, great spell caster who
eventually helped me out… I have never been a
fan of things like this but just decided to try
reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with
no choice… He did special prayers… Within
3days he called me and was sorry for all the
emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back
to the house and we continue to live happily.
what a wonderful miracle Dr anthony mello did
for me and my family. I have introduced him to
a lot of couples with problems across the world
and they have had good news… I strongly
believe someone out there Need’s so make extra
effort to save your marriage/relationship if
it’s truly worth it. email him on *(
anthonymello2463@gmail.com) or whatsapp him on

I will never again use a tampon after the tampon became stuck inside my vagina it freaked me out so bad ,to the point I thought I was going to die
I’m glad you’re spreading awareness. This reminds me of the Mirena birth control and similar IUDs. I have never felt comfortable using tampons because I’m extremely sensitive about what is in my body. People have made fun of me and called me old fashioned but I don’t care. Same with IUDs. When they first rose to popularity, I said the same thing. I would never be comfortable having that foreign object inside of me for years (!) and now, here come the law suits. Poor unsuspecting women thought IUDs were safe…I’m sure the FDA had their stamp on that one as well..you’re right to be leary of them. The FDA do NOT have women’s best interest in mind.
Have you given up tampons completely?
i use them for swimming…occasional gym…but maxi all the way
I agree with you on ALL points you’ve made! I’ve been “plug-free” for quite some time now. While “free bleeding” has a nice, almost patriotic ring to it, I’m not interested in cleaning special undies or smelling like an aging steak. So I’m on the pad-wagon too!
And yeah, don’t even get me started on the FDA. Or the CDC for that matter. Oy.
I had used Always since they come onto the scene.
I am a huge fan of the Always thin super overnights. The back is fanned out to cover all your bits while sleeping or sitting.
I am thankful that 2 years ago next month I am in menopause, and need no more of them.
