Use pad for more than 3 hours can cause cervical cancer & bacteria infection!!

FOR THOSE OF US WHO USE SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS:

IF u ever wondered what were the ingredients that made popular brands so'free! and light and carefree', well here's the bit:The material that makes the pad so paper THIN, is cellulose gel. YEap,it's not even cotton!!!!!!DO NOT wear the same pad for more than 3 hours of a maximum!!! After this duration, the genital area is prone to bacterial action and mayresult in cervical cancer or other complications!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER! NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAD FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS!!!!

If you are a woman and use pads, but especially if you use tampons, readthis and pass it on to your friends. For the men, significant others, wife, sisters, mothers,daughters, etc.) Thanks!Check the labels of the sanitary pads or tampons that you are going to buy the next time and see whether you spot any of the familiar signsstated in this post.No wonder so many women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and womb tumors.

Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos intampons?

Why would they do this? Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you're going to need to use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider tampons as being ingested, and, therefore, didn't considerthem illegal or dangerous. A woman getting her Ph.D. at University of Colorado at Boulder sent the following: 'I am writing this because women are not being informed aboutthe dangers of something most of us use: tampons. I am taking a classthis month and I have been learning a lot about biology and women,including much about feminine hygiene. Recently we have learned that tampons are actually dangerous (for other reasons than TSS). I'll tell you this - after learning about this in our class, most of the femaleswound up feeling angry and upset with the tampon industry, and I for one, am going to do something about it.

To start, I want to inform everyone I can, and email is the fastest way that I know how.

HERE ! IS THE SCOOP:Tampons contain two things that are potentially harmful: Rayon (forabsorbency), and dioxin (a chemical used in bleaching the products). The tampon industry is convinced that we, as women, need bleached whiteproducts in order to view the product as pure and clean. The problem here is that the dioxin, which is produced in this bleaching process,can lead to very harmful problems for a woman. Dioxin is potentiallycarcinogenic cancer-associated)and is toxic to the immune andreproductive systems. It has also been linked to endometriosis and lowersperm counts for men.

For both sexes, it breaks down the immune system.Last September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported thatthere really is no set 'acceptable' level of exposure to dioxin giventhat it is cumulative and slow to disintegrate. The real danger comesfrom repeated contact Karen Couppert 'Pulling the Plug on the TamponIndustry'). I'd say using about 4-5 tampons a day, five days a month,for 38 menstruating years is 'repeated contact', wouldn't y! ou? Rayoncontributes to the danger of tampons and dioxin because it is a highly absorbent substance. Therefore, when fibers from the tampons are leftbehind in the vagina (as usually occurs), it creates a breeding groundfor the dioxin. It also stays in a lot longer than it would with just cotton tampons. This is also the reason why TSS (toxic shock syndrome)occurs.WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and that are allcotton. Other feminine hygiene products(pads/napkins) contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly asdangerous since they are not in direct contact with the vagina. Thepads/napkins need to stop being bleached, but, obviously, tampons arethe most dangerous.

So, what can you do if you can't give up using tampons? Use tampons that are made from 100% cotton, and that are UNBLEACHED. Unfortunately, thereare very few companies that make these safe tampons. They are usually only found in health food stores.Countries all over the world (Sweden, Germany, British Columbia, etc.)have demanded a switch to this safer tampon, while the U.S. has decidedto keep us in the dark about it. In 1989, activists in England mounted acampaign against chlorine bleaching. Six weeks and 50,000 letters later,the makers of sanitary products switched to oxygen bleaching (one of thegreen methods available) (MS magazine, May/June 1995).WHAT TO DO NOW:Tell people. Everyone. Inform them. We are being manipulated by this industry and the government, let's do something about it! Please write to the companies: Tampax(Tambrands), Playtex, O.B., Kotex. Call the 800 numbers listed on the boxes. Let them know that we demand a safe product ALL COTTON UNBLEACHED TAMPONS. "

enjoyy..
