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.

Does using organic tampons cause TSS?
Any tampon poses the risk of TSS, but it's considerably lower with organic tampons.Rayon tampons pose the highest risk of TSS - brands such as Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex - because rayon is rougher and more aggressively absorbent than cotton so dries-out vaginal tissues to cause damage, this allows TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream. Rayon tampons are also more favourable to bacterial growth, contain ingredients that may impact on bacterial growth, and lose more tampon fibers. Organic tampons are made from 100% organic cotton so safer.
