Tampons do not decompose easily so they can remain usable for many years, however although they are sanitary they are not sterile so if stored in a warm and/or moist environment they can become mouldy and bacteria can thrive. Before using a tampon from this pack double-check that they look okay.

∙ 9y agoNo, it's not safe to use a 15 year old box of tampons. Tampons are sanitary but not sterile so can allow bacteria and mould to grow in them, even when they are sealed - also materials in tampons can degrade, and you have no way of knwing what ingredients are used in tampons to know if they are an increased risk if allowed to sit for that long. Get new tampons.
