Now I'm completely terrified to use tampons

[@cutebutpsycho6798]

It's fine, it's really rate to get TSS. She might have kept one in on accident for to long. I've been wearing them for years and I'm fine.

[@cutebutpsycho6798]

*rare

[@Happycooking1]

It's not about using Tampoons/Sanitary Pads. People get bacterial infections/reactions because of hygiene problems etc. Changing Pads, tampoons frequently is a good practice to follow. Don't leave the pad/tampoon for long, otherwise, it becomes breeding ground for Bacteria.

[@familiekontoen2204]

stop using them!

hi, Lauren Wasser good to know that you remain strong for everyone but yourself at first, but releasing the tremor of the thing you handle it quite well you are great' when I heard your life story on ted tears came to my eyes to be good and have a life back!

[@chloweful]

This is why pads are always the best!

[@baileyq1970]

Melissa Cummings incorrect. They cannot cause tss but they can lead to other infections if left on for too long

[@GabriellaVanTassel]

@@baileyq1970 They can use tss, so can menstrual cups. I don't know why people believe this. Look it up.

[@dr.physiker9930]

not only, the tampoons are not desinfected, there have always bacteria inside, and if you stick it inside it is even worth bcs you block them out with blood and they get propagated even faster. THIS IS WHY NEVER PUT THEM INSIDE!!! USE JUST THE PADS SLIPS BETER DESINFECT ThEM BEFORE W. SPIRITUS BUT WASH YOURSELF MINIMUM 2 TIMES PER DAY!!

My only issue with this message is that those of us without wealth, public profile careers or health care wouldn't receive the help or the treatment that she had. They'd merely make us "as comfortable as possible" and let us perish.

[@gaylinnek388]

I also used tampons for the entirety of my menstrual cycles without any complications, as have four of my sisters and many, many friends. We were all educated/warned about the dangers of Toxic Shock, from a young age. What's changed? There are still pamphlets in each box.

[@ronneel8129]

you miss the entire point of the story.

+Ron neel No, I didn't. One person's story & the only reason we're hearing it just validates my point.

Hadn't ever heard of her until KZbin post of the making of that video. Being that I'm not into fashion or trends, I wouldn't have known anything about this person or her story, if it hadn't been for music.

what brand did she use

[@eugenie6577]

Kotex

[@ashlee1885]

she's trying to. she hasn't won yet. but if she followed the direction she likely wouldn't have gotten it

[@aishaluve]

Ashleigh it actually doesn’t matter how long you leave it in. You can have it in for 5 mins and still get TSS. There was this one case where a 14-year old died after using a tampon for the first time. She followed all of the instructions and used the tampon correctly; it was simply the introduction of the tampon into her body which caused toxic shock syndrome to take effect.

[@oitsme912]

Aisha twice if forgot to take a tampon out before bed time and i woke up horrified in the morning that I would end up with TSS but thank God! I am here. I just hate dealing with other period items especially that diaper feel of a pad so I have to resort to tampons. Also why are they so expensive and taxed, we don’t ask to have periods every single month😤

[@joanwillison9922]

Did she say 200 lbs?

[@BrookeBaubles]

menstrual cups are the answer

[@caro.-]

Brooke no they are not, TSS is caused by tampons as well as by cups and many other things.

[@addiesrambles7871]

Pads all the way

[@daniellemorales7260]

alice34s y yup this is why I only use pads

[@essiessiessi]

caro True. But the possibility of getting TSS from menstrual cups is SO MUCH smaller!

[@ashlee1885]

or just not wearing a tampon for super long

[@Jess-Rabbit]

I dont get why she was 200 pounds ? Because of leg swelling?

[@donnaplaton9262]

They filled her with fluids to flush the toxins out

[@Miss.Asmaââ]

Is the tampon the reason ?

[@danndann6994]

yes...☹️ it is wat the tampon is made of... sometimes it is written on the box : caution this tampon could cause a TSS (tampon shock syndrom) but it is written in a such small way it is not possible to read 🙁

[@Vulkiri]

xd

[@elisamaiilves]

Shane

[@Chewbecca101]

I love this girl, but this makes no sense. Toxic Shock is usually caused from leaving a tampon in too long and leaving room for bacteria and infection. I have never heard of a case like hers before.

[@ashlee1885]

she obviously had a tampon in for way too long before she started feeling sick

[@theresaw70]

The syndrome is caused by bacteria, probably the first one wasn't infectious.

[@janusabernardes8921]

No. She did mention that she had changed her tampons and still felt sick. Is not because she had it for.too long. I could help to anybody. Thank you for sharing. You are saving lives

[@aprilparra7313]

That’s why I use organic tampons natural is the the best 🙌🏼

[@MeliaMimi]

You still have a similar likeliness of getting TSS

[@taghreedmakhatreh2161]

It’s about holding bad and toxic blood in your body and not about the type of tampons you should let the blood flow out because it can get back in your system

[@haki7811]

Honey, no. ....

[@dr.physiker9930]

not only, the tampoons are not desinfected, there have always bacteria inside, and if you stick it inside it is even worth bcs you block them out with blood and they get propagated even faster.

Instead of trying to help oppresed people near you, you fake it with the virtue signaling for other communities that are away more better than the beloved people of Palestine.
