Rayon is used in tampons because it is a very cheap material - it's produced from paper pulp and is highly absorbent so very little raw material is needed to make the final product - thus tampon companies perfer using rayon to cotton to increase profits.
Tampon companies are self-regulated and self-tested so despite additional health risks from rayon tampons - increased risk of TSS and vaginal infections, rayon tampons are also heavily chemcially treated and bleached resulting in the byproduct dioxin - they can continue to use rayon without any regulations preventing it's use.
