tampons bad for you?

[rookie03]

i read somewhere that since tampons are bleached and have a bunch of chemicals in them, that they are bad for you...is this correct? just want to make sure cause i dont want my girlfriend to have any problems...i know they have the natural cotton ones that are brown.

i read that cotton is naturally brown and bleached to make it look white and clean.? am i wrong?

not to snicker or anything, but i believe you're thinking of rice...
yes cotton is naturally white, and no, other than toxic shock syndrome (which occurs from an overgrowth of bacteria when a tampon is left in place for an excess of time) there are no tampon dangers that i have ever heard of....
