No, long-term use of tampons does not cause infertility. It is however important to point out that tampons can contain substances such as dioxin, which are linked with infertility and endometriosis - we don't know exactly what other toxins may be present in tampons or the full risks. If concerned consider safer options like pads or menstrual cups.

Is it safe to use tampons while pregnant?
No, you cannot use tampons when pregnant.For a start if you're pregnant then you're not going to be menstruating - women can bleed during pregnancy but it's not the same as menstruation and you will not know your flow pattern well enough to know what absorbency to use so using tampons at this time increases TSS risk. If you do experience bleeding during pregnancy it's important that you talk to your doctor immediately as bleeding could be a sign of a serious problem with your pregnancy.Tampons shouldn't be worn when pregnant because there is a higher risk of infections too - during pregnancy your risk of vaginal infections is already higher and it can be more difficult to treat while pregnant - tampons increase risk of infections so it's far from ideal when pregnant.
