this was sent to me its some info on the chemicals contained in tampons and pads.
if you use them you should read this. and find out what your other options are.
michelle
thought I should share this.
If you use pads, but especially if you use tampons, read this
and pass on to your friends (for the men receiving this
email, please forward it to your friends, significant others,
sisters, mothers, daughters, etc.)
Check the labels of the sanitary pads or tampons that you are
going to buy the next time, and see whether you spot any of
the familiar signs stated in this email. No wonder so many
women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and womb
tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in
tampons? Why would they do this? Because asbestos makes you
bleed more . . . .if you bleed more, you're going to need to
use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so
dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom
(Not), did not consider tampons as being ingested, and
therefore wasn't illegal or considered dangerous.
This month's Essence magazine has a small article about this
and they
mention two manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The
companies are Organic Essentials @ (800)765-6491 and Terra
Femme @ (800)755-0212 A woman getting her Ph.D. at University
of Colorado @ Boulder sent the following:
I am writing this because women are not being informed about
the dangers of something most of us use-tampons. I am taking
a class this month and I have been learning a lot about
biology and woman, including much about feminine hygiene.
Recently we have learned that tampons are actually dangerous
(for other reasons than TSS). I'll tell you this, after
learning about this in our class, most of the females wound
up feeling angry and upset with the tampon industry, and I
for one, am going to do something about it. To start, I want
to inform everyone I can, and email is the fastest way that I
know how.
Here is the scoop:
Tampons contain two things that are potentially harmful:
Rayon (for
absorbency), and dioxin (a chemical used in bleaching the
products). The tampon industry is convinced that we, as
women, need bleached white products-in order to view the
product as pure and clean.
The problem here is that the dioxin produced in this
bleaching process can lead to very harmful problems for a
woman. Dioxin is potentially
carcinogenic (cancer-associated) and is toxic to the immune
and
reproductive systems. It has also been linked to
endometriosis and lower sperm counts for men-for both, it
breaks down the immune system.
Last September the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
reported that there really is no set "acceptable" level of
exposure to dioxin given that it is cumulative and slow to
disintegrate. The real danger comes from repeated contact
(Karen Houppert "Pulling the Plug on the Tampon
Industry").
I'd say using about 4-5 tampons a day, five days a month, for
38
menstruating years is "repeated contact," wouldn't you? Rayon
contributes to the danger of tampons and dioxin because it is
a highly absorbent substance. Therefore, thin fibers from the
tampons are left behind in the vagina as it usually occurs),
it creates a breeding ground for the dioxin. It also stays in
a lot longer than it would with just cotton tampons. This is
also the reason why TSS (toxic shock syndrome) occurs.
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?
Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and that
are all
cotton. Other feminine hygiene products (Pads/napkins)
contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly as dangerous
since they are not in direct contact with the vagina. The
pads/napkins need to stop being bleached, but obviously
tampons are the most -

hai sa o gindim logic rekababe , tu daca iti ti ob-ul inauntru, singele ramine si el tot acolo, nu se scurge, crezi ca e sanatos?
Eu nu am dat acest msg ca sa va fac sa nu mai folositi ob-uri, folositile, eu doar am vrut sa cititi si voi ce am citit si eu si sa ne spunem parerile.
Iti respect parerea rekababe . -
Eu una multumesc mult pentru acest articol. Pana azi nu am folosit OB. Azi am cumparat din curiozitate.L-am pus dar l-am tinut doat 1 ora. Sora mea a folosit acum cativa ani si mi-a spus ca nu s-a simtit bine. A avut burta balonata si cand l-a scos i-a curs tot sangele care se stransese. E, cu gandul asta in cap, l-am scos pana la urma si am hotarat sa caut pe internet cate ceva despre OB. Din punct de vedere al faptului ca nu mai simti tamponul, mai ales cand e cald afara, e super, dar in rest...
Dupa ce am citit articolul asta, m-am hotarat si mai mult sa nu mai incerc sa folosesc.
Ce s-a spus mai sus, cum ca nu se poate scurge sangele din cauza OB, este o chestie logica, pentru ca OB e ca un dop si absoarbe foarte putin din sange, deci restul ramane innauntru.
Toate cele bune si multam mult inca odata pentru articol. -

Mie ginecologul mi-a spus despre nocivitatea tampoanelor interne inca de acum vreo 5 ani. M-a sfatuit sa folosesc vata de la farmacie, INFASURATA in tifon steril, pentru ca pana si vata medicinala e periculoasa.
O vreme am tinut cont de recomandarea lui, dar pe masura ce a trecut timpul m-am prostit la loc. Am pastrat doar obiceiul de a nu pune ob-uri atunci cand sunt acasa (inainte, le folosem chiar si noaptea).
Imi amintesc ca am gasit o singura data la farmacie VATA STERILA, care (nota bene
avea o culoare galbui-murdara, ceea ce inseamna ca nu era innalbita chimic. -
OB-urile sunt intr-adevar optiunea optima in cazul in care vrei sa porti ceva stramt sau e vara sau in cte si mai cate cazuri...dar,in ceea ce priveste igiena...lasa de dorit.Chiar daca il schimbi des,asa cum se recomanda...degeaba.Eu am purtat OB-uri aproape intr-una cand eram la menstruatie.Chiar si noaptea.Insa m-am ales cu o "frumusete" Candida.Am trecut din nou pe absorbante,ma simteam groaznic,parca aveam ditamai turta intre picioare,pur si simplu mi se ridica parul pe mine si ma lua cu frisoane.Intre timp m-am obisnuit si de aproape un an nu am mai folosit de loc OB-uri.Si sincera sa fiu,ma simt mult mai bine,si nici de Candida nu am mai "dat".Asa ca fetelor,ganditi-va de doua ori cand optati pentru OB-uri,avand in vedere si cele scrise de SweetBia
