Is Your Tampon Toxic? Watch This Video and You Will Understand Why You Need To Switch Brands.

Ladies, do you want to be healthier by  reducing your exposure to toxic chemicals and genetically modified organisms? Changing the type of tampon you use would eliminate your exposure to cotton that is soaked in cancer causing pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fragrances, chlorine, and plastic derivatives. The cotton in every major brand of tampon is not only saturated with an array of corrosive chemicals but also genetically modified (GMO). These chemicals are highly absorbed in the vagina and are linked to hormone disruption, infertility, dryness, and birth defects.  The average women uses about 12,000 tampons in a lifetime which is approximately 36,000 hours or more of direct chemical exposure.  These highly flammable chemicals do not belong in the body and in my opinion are at least partially responsible for the major increase in female cancers, infertility issues, and overall toxic chemical exposure. 

What tampon would you use? 

In the video of the burning tampon on the left, the black chemical cloud of smoke looks exactly like the fumes emitted from a chemical factory on fire.  Untreated, organic cotton never burns like this.    

Make the simple switch to organic tampons and feminine care products.  I recommend the brands Natracare or Seventh Generation. Keep in mind that green drinks and detox regimens are great and I highly recommend to feel your best, but if you keep exposing yourself to toxins then you are negating the whole purpose.  
Like and share if you think people you care about should make the switch too.
