Arsenic and lead found in tampons ? How does this affect you?

Arsenic and lead are both toxic heavy metals that can have serious health effects on a woman's body. Tampons are currently testing positive for these heavy and dangerous chemicals. Since the begging of the Femi Secrets brand, we have warned women about these issues. 

Arsenic exposure can lead to a variety of health issues, including skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and several types of cancer. In pregnant women, arsenic exposure can also increase the risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, and developmental delays in the fetus.

Lead exposure can also have severe health consequences for women, including neurological damage, impaired cognitive function, reproductive issues, and high blood pressure. In pregnant women, lead exposure can lead to preterm birth, low birth weight, and developmental delays in the fetus.

Overall, both arsenic and lead can have significant negative impacts on a woman's health and the health of her unborn child if she is pregnant. It is important to limit exposure to these toxic metals and seek medical treatment if exposure is suspected.

Ladies is it is important to avoid these chemical filled products as a whole and only use chemical free products like the Pretty Panty by Femi Secrets. Women who use Femi Secrets products see a specific health increase and decrease in pain and vaginal issues.
