However, these products are exposing millions of people to dangerous chemicals that could harm reproductive health and contribute to chronic diseases.

Studies show these chemicals disrupt our endocrine systems, causing long-term risks to health. The presence of arsenic and lead in organic and non-organic tampons alone raises red flags, and without proper regulation, the long-term effects remain unknown.
The lack of comprehensive oversight from the FDA means that many tampons and menstrual products continue to be sold with dangerous chemicals, putting the health of those who use them at risk.
Consumers deserve products that are safe and free from harmful substances, especially when they are used in such an absorbent area of the body.
