Many women’s menstrual products, like tampons and pads, can contain harmful chemicals. These include dioxins, which are byproducts of the bleaching process and have been linked to cancer and reproductive harm. Additionally, some products have pesticides and herbicides from non-organic cotton, as well as synthetic fragrances that can cause allergic reactions and disrupt hormones. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals can lead to various health issues, including hormonal imbalances and reproductive problems. It’s important to look for organic and chemical-free menstrual products to reduce exposure to these harmful substances.
