Period Besties Podcast: The Truth About Tampons & Toxins

In this special episode of the Period Besties Podcast, hosts Stasha and Katie dive into a recent study from UC Berkeley revealing the presence of heavy metals like arsenic and lead in both organic and non-organic tampons.

They explore how these toxins can affect your body and why it's essential to be mindful of the products you use. The episode also highlights alternative menstrual products, such as menstrual cups, discs, and bamboo cloth pads, and offers practical advice on mitigating toxin exposure in daily life.

Tune in to learn how to navigate these findings and make well-informed decisions for your menstrual health.
