A common myth about tampons, which continues to this day despite sex education...or maybe it speaks for how bad sex education is...is that tampons can 'take' your virginity. Virginity refers to whether or not someone has had sex, there is no physical change when a person has sex and nothing about tampons can effect your virginity - only consensual sex can effect virginity.

We do know there's no asbestos.The asbestos myth came about from an email circulating in the 1990's. It may be that this email was related to concerns over dioxin and either the original sender got confused about what was inside tampons or purposefully misled people in an attempt to stop customers using tampons or pressure the general public to demand to know what is used within commercial tampons.
