My mom's friend scared her out of using tampons now my mom is telling me that i should not use them anymore because her friend says apparently they cause cancer which is NOT TRUE what do i do now?
Explain to your mum that this is simply not true. Show her internet sites and evidence that that this is false information. The only risk involved with tampons is TSS which is an extremely rare, but serious conditon. Failing this, you could email Tampax asking them if it is true, and then show your mother the reply letter. Hope this helps.
Why do tampons make your cramps worse?
No one knows for certain because the only people who really research tampons are the tampon companies themselves, and it's unlikely they'd carry out research that may make tampons seem problematic - in other words anecdotal evidence and knowledge of female anatomy suggests that tampons do increase cramps, and that's not something tampon companies would want to prove.Tampons can expand into the cervix, especially if you have a shorter vaginal canal and if you use length-ways expanding tampons such as Tampax or Playtex. Tampons also absorb vaginal moisture and it's believed that in pulling moisture from the vagina they also pull at vaginal walls which may increase cramps. Some also attribute chemical ingredients in commercial tampons with cramps.Yes they can. If you have just started having periods it is advise not to use tampons for the first few years. Make sure you change them often if you do. There is a bacterial infection that can be caused by not doing that and it will kill you.
Why do tampon brands end with x?

Cut the Cost of Feminine Products with Tampax Coupons?
It's an unspoken fact that many women need to purchase feminine hygiene products on a regular basis.

You can find a variety of coupons for this brand that will help you lower the costs of these products each month. The first thing you need to do is always check the boxes of tampons when you make a purchase. Every once in a while, you can find Tampax coupons stuck to the packaging. These can usually be removed and used on your purchase you are about to make. You don't need to save it for a future purchase if you find a coupon in this manner. If you find your Tampax coupons from another source, such as a newspaper or the internet, determine just what type of coupon it is. There are generally two different types - store coupons and manufacturer coupons. Store coupons are valid only at the specific stores for which they are printed. They will have the store's name or logo on them. Manufacturer coupons, however, are exclusive to the brand, and can be used anywhere that coupons are accepted. Some stores will allow you to combine a store coupon and manufacturer coupon for the same item. You can really save money if you ever use your Tampax coupons in this way. Try to stock up on each type of coupon if you want to purchase many at a very low price. In some cases, you can even get these for free or just a few cents, especially if you hit a sale and use the two coupons together. Tampax coupons are available from the manufacturer on occasion. It is best that you keep an eye for these discounts by getting your weekly newspaper or visiting couponing websites often. This allows you to grab coupons for Tampax, as well as other brands, before they are gone.
