First of all, its only bad if you leave it in for more than two days. Second, they sell cigerattes, and that kills people too soo.... you can wear tampons whenever. pads are like diapars. you sit in your own blood all day. groooossss. plus it stinks and they leak. People can choose for themselfes if they want to wear tampons or pads so stop being negative and talking crap.

Peeps answered Thursday June 17 2010, 8:18 pm: Wow, if you're leaving in a tampon for two days then you're pretty darn lucky you haven't died yet. Look up Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). If you actually take the time to read the little instructional pamphlet in the tampon package you'll see a little information about the life-threatening illness. Yeah, that's right, life-threatening. As in, you can die. As in, most women do die of it when it occurs.
They sell cigarettes but did you know that many states have began to outlaw them now? They have. There's no more public smoking in some places. Heck, there are laws being considered right now to keep an entire county tobacco free. Just like alcohol. Did you know there are lots of places in the United States that have outlawed alcohol in particular areas? Seriously! They realized how much of a hazard it is and started to take steps to improve the lives of people.
If you're a clean person then pads aren't like diapers. You go to the bathroom every 2 hours, change it, and wipe yourself up. You don't hear mothers complaining, "Eww! The baby wears...DIAPERS?! That's disgusting!" If you think it's so gross then why would you put your infant in it? Why would you put an elderly woman or man in depends when they are in a nursing home? The answer is that it isn't disgusting, bad, diseased, and you can't lose your life wearing it. It's called practicing proper personal hygiene.
If you're wearing a pad so long that it leaks then you aren't doing it properly. You should be changing a lot more often than that. You should be taking care to make sure you don't smell by cleaning yourself each time you go to the restroom. You should be taking trips the restroom just so you can change. Just FYI: Tampons can leak too.
I'm not "talking crap" but, rather, am being concerned for the health and safety of you (and other Advicenators). Tampons aren't your best friend. I'm not "dissing" them to make myself look better. I'm telling you the truth. They're deadly. They're toxic. And they're cancerous.
If you had to choose between dying of cancer or living a long, cancer-free life which would you choose? I think that's a pretty easy question. I'm trying to help. I'm saying, "Hey! That causes cancer! Just because it's on the shelves doesn't make it safe. Please educate yourself first!"
Just like cigarettes. They now have warning labels but they didn't at one time because people just automatically assumed they wouldn't hurt. As years went on studies began to find them to be cancerous. They decided they might not be so good to smoke. They started to inform people.
I am informing you. Tampons are not safe. They are not healthy. They will hurt you if you use them. I gave plenty of helpful resources to back-up the information I provided to you so that you knew I wasn't just pulling information out of the air. I'm telling you the cold, hard facts. You really can't deny them. Sure, ignore them if you want though. That's your life.
I hope someone will listen to the information I provided though because it's time to think for yourself. It's time to take action for your own health and safety. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
