OB Tampons per Comfort Normal - 16st

Product Information

It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on here, but Timecites the typical supply chain issues. Procter & Gamble, which makes Tampax (the country’s most popular tampon brand), said in its most recent earnings call that it’s having difficulty sourcing raw materials for feminine care products like tampons and is also struggling to ship tampons to places that need them. With clean hands, unwrap a tampon and tug on the string to make sure the string is firmly attached to the tampon. On the other hand, Anate Brauer, MD, FACOG, reproductive endocrinologist and IVF director in Manhattan, NY at Shady Grove Fertility, says there is no scientific evidence that organic tampons are any safer. The product was launched in 1950 as the " o.b. tampon". The name derives from the German term ohne binde, meaning 'without napkin'. The o.b. tampon consists of rolled fiber-pad layers designed to expand uniformly from all sides, filling the vaginal cavity more completely than a less flexible tampon. It is therefore more efficient in guarding against leaks. Cotton and rayon layers achieve the necessary absorbency. [2] Esser-Mittag's idea was to create a product that worked with a woman's body to offer the best protection. As an active swimmer she was dissatisfied with the options available for menstrual hygiene, and as a gynecologist she was in a position to take the initiative to find a better option for menstruating women. She was not satisfied with pads because they could not be worn in water and thought that applicator tampons were uncomfortable and did not conform to the woman's body. A tampon without an applicator had the advantages that it was easy to insert, comfortable, and provided good protection.

If you're concerned about pain, though, try buying light absorbency tampons. You'll have to change them more frequently, but they'll be slimmer and more comfortable. A good beginning tampon is Tampax Pearl Lite. You can also just get "junior" or "slim" tampons. Using a smaller sized tampon at first will help you get used to inserting them and they will also be easier to take out. You can buy heavier tampons later if you discover light absorbency doesn't work for you. After the invention of this new tampon, the product was mass-produced throughout the mid-20th century with the help of the Carl Hahn Company in Germany. This company, as well as the idea for the digital o.b. tampon, was later sold and eventually bought by Johnson & Johnson in 1974. In 1984, an advertisement for o.b. tampons aired on American television with the inventor Esser-Mittag. [9] The o.b. tampon now [ as of?] comes in three sizes and three absorbencies. [2] The o.b. brand continues to retain a board-certified gynecologist and research team to pursue Esser-Mittag's vision for innovative options for women. [10]Lastly, we made sure to prioritize tampons that have no fragrances or dyes, as well as those that have the most biodegradable materials possible.

Seven billion tampons are thrown out each year, and they're not going away any time soon as period products can take 500 to 800 years to decompose. Plus, the average menstruator uses around 11,000 tampons in their lifetime, which is why using organic tampons is a great way to reduce the impact on our environment.
