scented tampons

i dont remember but is it possible to have an allergic reaction to fragranced tampons? i accidently picked up a box of scented instead of the regular and used a couple and now im slightly swollen and tender. i havent used them for the last couple days and the symptoms seem to be getting better so i figured that was what was causing the swelling but im curious if anyones had similar symptoms. thanks.

yeah, scented tampons are really, really bad for your vagina. they can cause infections and irritation like that, because they upset the natural balance of things in your vagina. they are totally unnecessary anyway, please don't use them! scented things in general are bad, including soap, really. if you want to use it, use only mild soap and only on the outside.

tampons themselves really aren't that good for you, but if you're going to use them, don't use scented. Check this page (http://www.lunapads.com/alternatives/index.html) out for alternatives to regular tampons, from unbleached organic cotton tampons (much better for your vagina) to the keeper (i love mine to death.) :)

yay keeper

mine too. the most comfortable thing that's allowed in my vagina for such extended periods of time.
