Sanitary towels? I thought everyone used tampons which help you get on with your life.

There are various reasons why tampons are not always best.

Here is some information about a medical condition called Toxic Shock Syndrome which is a serious infection (can lead to death) which can be caused by using tampons.
I believe there is now some information on leaflets in tampons packets.
Obviously this information should be taken in context as it's very rare, however people should have access to the information so that they can make an informed choice.

Personally, tampons are not my choice when flow is very light due to dryness, so I use a mixture of products.
Tampons have huge advantages if you are swimming playing sports etc, but overnight or in an office I don't think towels stop you getting on with your life at all.

Mooncup is also an alternative (a plastic cup which is reusable/washable) which is moneysaving environmentally friendly and doesn't have some of the problems associated with tampons (like leaving fibres in your body).
I believe it takes some getting used to but some people rave about it.

I don't think there is a right or a wrong answer.
Just what is most suitable for the individual at various times (which may well be more than one product).

OMFG...thank god i'm a bloke! :beer: :j

So presumably you can't get the same toxic shock syndrome from towels then? And don't you have to be prone to this toxic shock in the first place, like having a nut allergy?

I don't believe it has been linked to towels only tampons. Here is some information from the article

Although the exact connection is still not clear, researchers suspect that certain types of high-absorbency tampons provided a moist, warm home where the bacteria could thrive.

And don't you have to be prone to this toxic shock in the first place, like having a nut allergy?

I don't believe so. Again from the article

Although TSS usually occurs in menstruating women, it can affect anyone who has any type of staph infection, including pneumonia, abscess, skin or wound infection, a blood infection called septicemia, or a bone infection called osteomyelitis.

I would like to re-emphasise that this is very rare although a few individuals have died.
You can reduce your chances by reading the information and following the instructions to use tampons safety and knowing what the symptons are.
