Is it bad to use scented tampons?

Question

I've heard it's bad to use any scented feminine protection products, but unfortunately I ran out of tampons and the only kind the store had was deoderant. Do they really cause Cervical Cancer/infections?

Answer 1

I'm sure you will be fine to use them just untl you can get unperfumed ones.  But scented tampons?  What the h**l is the point?  You stick them up your crotch anyways...  I'm pretty sure the smell doesn't escape from there. Hah.

Well, fyi, I wouldn't continue to use them in the long run.

Answer 2

scented tampons ?????? never heard or that. anyways whatever has a strong smell you can`t use it there. and tampons , no mater if they are scented or not, can cause cancer.  

Answer 3

no its not worth it just put alot of toilet paper down there with a pad

Answer 4

I haven't heard that they cause cervical cancer, maybe that is true for someone who uses it all the time. But depending on how sensitive you are it may give you a yeast infection.  

Answer 5

Well I wouldnt, but not because of the reasons you suggest. I just wouldn't because something like that is more likely to increase the chances of infections such as thrush.  

Answer 6

IT may!!! usually it may cause also urinary tract infection, and always using feminine wash? can also lead to alternate the normal ph of the v****a that may cause in UTI.  

Answer 7

Did not even know they now make scented tampons, thats weird!  I'm sure they are not healthy, I would never use one.  Just use a pad instead, until you can buy the non-scented ones.

Answer 8

If you use them for a long period of time they can cause a Yeast Infection. But we're talking years of use. You'll be fine. don't worry
