females,would you consider scented tampons more risky than regular tampons?

Question:

i accidentally picked up a box of scented tampons and have already opened them and want to know if they have a greater risk of causing infection or toxic-shock than regular tampons!

Answers:
I had toxic shock, and from what i gather sented tampons are more likely to premote infections. Not nessisarily TSS. However pearl brand tends to have a higher rate of girls getting toxic shock than any other brand tampons. Thats from my experience atleast and about 7 other girls i know who got TSS

Other Answers:
sometimes. it depends on the girl. i know i cant use the powders because they break me out but other girls Need them. if you feel like you shouldnt, dont. you dont want to be bugged with an infection there.

well no they shouldnt because its just so you dont smell the blood as much yes ,soap, bath gels and even toilet paper

I am highly sensitive to any scents in that area. I have to be very careful or else I will be itchy like you wont believe for the next week. Not worth the discomfort. Just change your tampons regularly and you'll never have to worry about odour.

They dont up the risk of getting TSS, but you do have a more chance of getting an allergic reaction.

i dont understand why they make them. if you change them like the box says there will not be a smell.
