You have a right to know the ingredients

Wow, I learned that the average woman uses 16,000 tampons over time, and that no federal law requires makers to disclose the ingredients in them. Protecting the right to know is important for all women in our lives. Learn more about this! #comeclean #generationgood

Seventh Generation is proud to be partnering with Women’s Voices for the Earth, leading a movement that is fighting for a woman’s right to know what is in the pads and tampons she uses. If you'd like to know more, read this article

Disclosure: This blog post was a mission from Seventh Generation that I'll receive points for completing.

  7. This is very surprising. Food and medicine require full disclosure of ingredients, why shouldn't tampons? Similarly diapers and other products should show ingredients. For now it is safe to assume that companies have something to hide.

    Also, it does not matter that you wrote this post for 'points', because the matter was worth raising. I would not have got to know about it if it wasn't for your post.

    1. I found it surprising too. Thank you for your kind words. I didn't realize any of this until I read it either.

  8. You would think all products would be required to show the ingredients in them, quite important for things like tampons, nappies etc.(I think you call them diapers).

    All the best Jan

    1. Yeah we do call them diapers here. There should be an ingredient list.
