I thought it might be good to share some things which I'm doing which help me feel happier. If you have a vagina, you might want to think twice about what you put in it. Most tampons are bleached with chlorine. Dioxins, a potentially harmful by-product of the chlorine bleaching process, have been found in tampons. The cotton may also contain herbicides, pesticides and fungicides.
Alternatives are available.
Check at your health food store for tampons made with pure organic cotton which are non-chlorine bleached. Organic Essentials and Natracare are two such manufacturers.
