Tampons - own brand or ??

“thoughts?”

As a male, my key and indeed only “thoughts” are around the chemical composition of the materials used. There has been “some” research but not sure how real the threats are or indeed what the EU regulations are which I assume Lidl would have to adhere to.

I only use tampons if I have to which is very rarely. I have a friend who was told by a gynae to stop using tampons as use could lead to infertility and infections leading to problems. Menstrual blood is meant to leave the body not stay in. They described it as the same as keeping your vomit in and you wouldnt do that would you.

When you think of it is its not the healthiest putting a man made fibre into your body. My advice is try to stop using them but each to their own. If you have to use always use the expensive, common brand as I would hope the correct safety standards have been met I would hope.
