Why do women use tampons when CDC reports 267 deaths, 808 injuries (scaring due to TSS) & infertility in '05?


Question:
- and 65% of those numbers are when women use them PROPERLY.
- and the warning pamphlets in the tampon boxes are made and printed and controlled by the same companies selling these to you.

So why are tampon users so militant and angry about using a pad - are they just dumb and prefer to ignore the facts? Are these women just idiots - or simply unaware of the dangers?

I am sure we'll get lots of angry women posting denials of tampons being harmful in order to justify their continued use.

Are women really preferring the risks of all this vs. using pads?

Answers:
Sorry but now it is just being silly, you have posted this 6 times, you have gotten answers - you have had women who deny the real risks which is to be expected as we know fine well women who are educated do not use tampons.

From me I have explained in full why this is...and I notice your 'facts' are still seriously lacking - being zealous about this is not going to change anything at all, you don't need to over exaggerate the risks of tampons, and the facts alone speak volumes.

What on earth is the point in posting this over and over, women who are ignorant will remain ignorant at least until you give them a valid reason to explore the issues, and going off on one without the facts just makes the situation WORSE because no woman is going to listen to someone who calls them stupid and does not present facts!

Tampons are not safe to use, but you have not given women reason why they are not safe to use, you have also not presented them with alternatives such as pads, free-flow and menstrual cups - why not? Why is it so important to you to attack these women rather than help educate them?

Why do you post this when you refuse to present honest information or treat women as the victims of ignorance rather than supporters of products that are contributing to such social problems?
Most products have a risk of injury or death.

Worth the risk for the mere convenience.
US companies are allowed to use certain bleaching agents in tampons that UK companies are not. the US govt allows tampons to be dangerous to US women.

protest this, women!
because it is so much easier to use a tampon vs a pad. That's why I use tampons.
