Are Tampons Poisoning Us?

We love women's health, yes we do, we want tampons without heavy metals, how 'bout you!?

Tampons have been in the news recently—and for a less-than-ideal reason. Heavy metals, lead, arsenic, oh my! Today we discuss what is actually in tampons, how to know that your menstrual products are safe to use, and the changes that need to be made for the sake of menstruating women worldwide.

And while we're here, let's dip into pink tax, cramps in the office, and how the heck the gals are getting through the day.

If you have questions, thoughts, and general rage about the state of menstruation products, you've come to the right place.

You can find The New York Times article on what's in tampons here.
