Women Beware: Most Feminine Hygiene Products Contain Toxic Ingredients
QUOTE- "For example, plasticizing chemicals like BPA and BPS disrupt embryonic development. They’re linked to heart disease and cancer.
Phthalates, which give paper tampon applicators a smooth finish, are known to disregulate gene expression, and DEHP may lead to multiple organ damage.
Synthetics and plastic restrict air flow and trap heat and dampness, potentially promoting yeast and bacteria growth in your vaginal area.
Besides crude oil plastics, conventional sanitary pads can also contain other potentially hazardous ingredients, such as odor neutralizers and fragrances.”
