## Are Tampax Ingredients Safe?
Absolutely! Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Before we market a new product, we go beyond regulatory compliance to ensure every ingredient’s safety through a four-step, science-based process. We use the same process as regulatory agencies around the world, like US Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union, the World Health Organization, and others. 

### Step 1: Doubt – The Foundation
“Doubt is the beginning, not the end of wisdom.” We start with a healthy dose of skepticism about the safety of a new ingredient used in tampons. If we cannot establish its safety to consumers, we will not use it.

### Step 2: Define – Safe Range
We define the safe range for every ingredient we use with the same scientific process used by regulatory agencies around the world (FDA, EPA, WHO, EU, etc). We avoid unsafe ranges. If there is not enough information to establish a safe range we will be cautious and remove the ingredient from consideration, or investigate it further with additional data.

### Step 3: Determine – Safe Product Use
We evaluate all tampon ingredients in the final product to confirm their use is within the safe range for both consumers and the environment. If we cannot conclude that the final product formula is safe, we will reformulate, or decide not to market the product. Procter and Gamble has over 700 scientists and professionals who ensure our products meet all safety and regulatory requirements around the world.

### Step 4: Diligence – Monitor Use & New Information
Once the product is marketed we monitor consumer use and investigate all new scientific information. We also collaborate with external scientists and regulatory agencies on new safety methods.

## Do Tampon Ingredients Cause Toxic Shock Syndrome?
Toxic Shock Syndrome is a rare but serious illness and the most up-to-date scientific information assures us that Toxic Shock Syndrome is not affected by the ingredients in tampons – this means that tampons made with cotton, rayon, or organic cotton ingredients all have similar risks of TSS. Regardless of what the tampon ingredients are, it is really important for you to know the signs and symptoms of TSS and what you can do to reduce your risk. Learn more about [Toxic Shock Syndrome, symptoms, and how to reduce your risk](/en-us/period-health/toxic-shock-syndrome-causes-treatment/). 

## Are Scented Tampons Ingredients Safe?
Your safety is at the foundation of everything we do, so like our unscented tampons, our scented tampons can be used safely. We make sure the materials and ingredients that are used in our tampons, including the fragrance in our scented products, should not be irritating, cause itching, or cause an allergic reaction. Additionally, the fragrance used in our tampons meets the strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association, the world’s leading authority on fragrance safety. We recommend our unscented tampons for those who prefer fragrance-free products or who may already have allergies or sensitivity to fragrances. In case you’re wondering, it’s completely normal and healthy to have vaginal odor and a faint scent of tang or sweat is totally fine and healthy. Learn more about vaginal odor - what’s good, bad, and when you should definitely consult a doctor with this [Vaginal Odor Guide](/en-us/period-health/vaginal-odor/).

## How are Tampax Tampons Made? 
Now that you know the ingredients used in Tampax tampons, let’s explore how we make tampons. Tampax Tampons are made at our own manufacturing facilities, 1 in the US and 1 in Europe. We know exactly what ingredients go into each tampon and how they are put together every step of the way, to ensure quality.

What Everyone Should Know about Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)

What are tampons really made of? This is a common question about tampons and despite how much we love the internet, there are several myths out there about tampon ingredients. Thanks internet, but we got this one.

Tampax tampons have an important job -  absorb your monthly bleed to help avoid leaks, so they are primarily made from absorbent ingredients like purified cotton, rayon, or a blend of both. Since tampons are considered a medical device by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) our products and ingredients must meet strict safety standards. Our purified cotton is a plant-based ingredient treated for usage and rayon is a synthetic material derived from purified wood pulp and is processed into an absorbent cellulose fiber. Fear not, our process ensures Tampax tampons are free of elemental chlorine bleaching and perfume (on products labelled as Unscented.) Cotton and Rayon used in Tampax tampons are both proven and widely accepted as safe for use by super smart people like scientists, health authorities, and physicians - Tampax is even the #1 US Gynecologist Recommended Tampon Brand. 

So, if you’re wanting to learn even more about our tampons and their ingredients, you’ve come to the right place!

Place the used applicator back into the wrapper and throw it away.

There’s nothing worse than feeling a little *squish* in your pants and being faced with the potential horror that you might’ve just started your period unprepared. “When should I get my period?” you wonder, followed by “Did I just start my period?” are not the best things to cross your mind on a day you’re not expecting it. Be your own period prepper with the Tampax Period Calculator to know when your flow is about to start.
For those vagina-havers with regular cycles (how’s it feel to be genetically lucky?), use our period calendar tracking tool to find out when you can roll the dice with your favorite pair of white jeans. 

__How do menstrual calculators work?__
Glad you asked. Basically, your body runs on a four-part “menstrual cycle” — and while you might assume that phrase means just the week of bleeding, in actuality, your menstrual cycle also refers to the weeks you don’t bleed. Your body is still grinding and putting in work — it’s not like your reproductive system just goes all-out the one week you bleed.
[You start with the menstrual cycle (your period, when the lining of your uterus sheds), followed by the follicular phase (when the follicles in your ovaries mature and get ready for the prime time: ovulation), then comes (you guessed it) ovulation (when the egg is released), followed finally by the luteal phase (when the egg makes its way down your fallopian tubes and gets ready to bleed)](/en-us/period-health/menstrual-cycle-phases/).

Knowing this, you can track your period and your cycle. Voila!

It’s like those annoying SAT logic questions. If luteinizing is def gonna happen, then the menstrual cycle is def gonna happen next, and it’s only a matter of time before you bleed. You can also tell other ways to see where in your cycle your body is, like tracking your basal body temp (your temp when you first wake up), and checking your cervical mucus, both of which are helpful to know if you want to see if you’re ovulating, aka at your most fertile. But since seeing your period is an easier way of pinning down where you are in your cycle, tracking the days you bleed can also help you fill in the missing gaps to better picture your cycle’s timeline. 

It’s using this information that you can get a chronological, clearer picture of what to expect. 

Of course, not everyone’s cycle is totally the same. The average length that people usually go by is 28 days, but [anywhere from 21 to 35 days is normal too](/en-us/period-health/menstrual-cycle-phases/), so don’t stress if you tend to be on the earlier or later side, as long as it’s consistent for your bod. If you’re on birth control, this can also help give you a more stable idea of your cycle, as birth control regulates your period a bit better. 

But whether your period is three days, five, or seven days, whether it comes every month or more like every month-ish, you can still use a period calculator to better learn your cycle.
__How to Use a Period Tracker:__
Simply input the length of your average period and the length of your last period, and let the period calculator do the rest. 

Pop in the date your last period began, the length of time it lasted, and the average length of your cycle to get a better idea of when you can reasonably expect your next period. If you have no idea how long between your periods, make a note the next time it starts and when it ends so you have it on hand for next month. Better late than never amirite?

You can also use a “period tracker” for way more than just predicting bleed week. Since ovulation usually occurs on the [14th day of your cycle](https://www.medicinenet.com/menstruation/article.htm) (with Day 1 of your cycle being the first day you bleed), you can also learn and track peak ovulation.
