Tampon Question I have stopped using conventional, drugstore tampons, since I heard that they have harmful chemicals, like rayon, and use bleaching...I wouldn't want to have contact with either.
I now use natural, 100% organic cotton tampons, which are fine, except for the fact that all of them have a cardboard applicator. I understand that natural means natural, so no plastics...but is their a natural tampon with a more comfortable design? I don't mind using cardboard tampons, but I noticed that it's hard to grip the natural tampons during application.
If any of you know of the most comfortable organic cotton tampon, please let me know.

Oh my gosh, have you seen "The Vagina Monologues?" There is a bit in there about tampons you should see. Anyway, tampons of any kind are not the best or healthiest thing to use. Convenient and less messy, yes, but it is not natural to shove cotton into a vagina and your vagina does not like it. Try pads and see if your body agrees. ]
You may not have heard much or even anything about menstrual cups in health class but they may help. It's a barrier that tucks into the vagina and collects menstrual blood. It's 100% re-usable aand doesn't absorb anything but rather catches it. You can then clean it out and keep using it later on.
This is just another way of using products that won't harm the earth. Yes, the cup is plastic but it's a one time purchase and then reusable. You never have to throw it out according to the wikipedia info (see link) [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ]
