The chemicals in feminine hygiene products have been linked to a host of issues, including cancers, inflammatory conditions, infections, and hormonal concerns.

Like the microbiome in our gut, the vaginal ecosystem is a delicate balance of bacteria that can be altered by foreign objects or substances such as feminine hygiene products, spermicides, lubricants, creams, and douches. The vaginal mucus membrane and external anatomy (e.g. clitoris, labia) is capable of secreting and absorbing fluids at a higher rate than the skin, so chemicals are rapidly absorbed through the vagina. In contrast, our skin protects us from the outside world, and ingestion ensures a substance can get broken down to less toxic versions to help relieve body burden. Therefore, possible exposure to higher than anticipated chemical burden from hygiene products may be more prevalent than the companies’ intend.2

According to the FDA, the main toxic ingredients in tampons are dioxin, rayon, and asbestosis. Some are also scented with fragrance, a solution of harmful chemicals commonly added to products to mask unpleasant scents associated with strong vaginal odor usually due to oxidized menstrual blood, or imbalanced flora. 3 Ironically this contributor to an imbalanced ecosystem that may produce unwanted scents, may prompt her to buy more fragranced-based product.
Elevated levels of dioxin, the byproduct when tampons and other sanitary products are bleached with chlorine, have been linked to increased risk of breast cancer and endometriosis, stated by the Women’s Environmental Network.4 Rayon helps promote absorbency, however, this can also mean increased toxin absorption during time of production. Chlorine gives sanitary napkins and tampons it’s ‘clean white look’, and while some brands may tout a chlorine-free bleaching process and 100% cotton tampons, dioxins are still produced, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not always collect dioxin levels from tampon or sanitary product brands

A more dangerous and immediate concern for women is the possibility of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a potentially fatal condition due to an overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that is already present in and on our body. According to WebMD, it can be attributed to women who use tampons, diaphragms, and menstrual sponges, and symptoms are produced from the poisons released from the bacteria, including high fever and vomiting. A tampon saturated with blood, for example, supports the rapid growth of bacteria then optimized in entering our system through highly absorptive vaginal walls, potential micro-tears from insertion and removal, or if the vagina is drier than normal should the tampon be in there too long.
