TamPacks (a) ACTS: the creator identifies them as her long-time brand but expresses concern about their chemical/lead content, leading her to seek alternatives. Removing this would change the video's premise. Cora (a) ACTS: the creator shows the box, reads the ingredients, and decides to try them. Removing this would change the video's premise. Period (a) ACTS: the creator shows the box and explains she bought them to avoid sleeping in tampons. Removing this would change the video's premise. Thinx (a) ACTS: the creator shows the box and identifies it as another option she purchased. Removing this would change the video's premise.

So I just found out that my favorite tampon brand of all time, TamPacks, the tampons that I've been using since I was 10 years old, since I first got my period when I was 10 years old, I'm 22 right now, that it was individually tested and all kinds of chemicals and lead were present. No, not cool. So I went to Target and I went to Walmart to fix the problem. And disclaimer, everybody is different and every body is different. If you don't use tampons or you only use tampons or you don't use pads or you only use pads, everyone's different, okay? I only wear tampons. I can't wear I can't wear pads. I hate pads. I hate them so much. I'm so sorry if you wear pads. I love you. I love you so much. And you know who you know who else I really love? The people who wear the cups, the Diva cups. Hell yeah. That's gangster, dude. That's cool. I'm scared that I'm going to end up putting it in wrong and then when I pull it out, it's going to suction my uterus or not uterus. What is it called that's like right there? Starts with a C. Cervix. I know my anatomy. Uh it's going to suction cut my cervix like all the way down and like pull it out and like rip it out and then I'll die. That's what I'm scared of. That being said, I really wanted to find a clean tampon that wasn't going to kill me. Hey, that's crazy. I Googled clean tampon brands and a bunch of different brands popped up. One was Organic, um Honeypot, Rael, Cora. I went to Walmart. Cora was the only one that I found that I found the Honeypot, but I didn't find the Honeypot tampons. And then I went to Target and I found the Honeypot tampons, but they were only regular and I use Super or Super Plus. Um so I got Cora and I got Super and Super Plus, I think is what it is. Um it literally just says the ingredients are cotton. And and it says organic cotton. Uh that's nice. We like that. I assumed that all brands did that. Um I was wrong. So we're going to try these out. I'm going to see if I like them. I'm not going back to TamPacks. So hopefully these work. If these don't work, I'm going to try the Honeypot or the organic with it's but with a Y. And I also got, that way I'm not sleeping in tampons because apparently that's bad too. I didn't know that. So I got the Period panties. I like panties though. I like that word, panties. I don't like saying like panties. I don't like that. I like panties. Anyways, I got Period panties. These are a medium, hopefully they fit good. I got the boy short ones. Um and Target had the Thinx for all. Cool also. I think we got to spread awareness, guys. We got to get the word out there. That's so hateful. How the hell are you going to poison people who buy your stuff? That's rude. That's so rude. I'm going to be mad about that, but we for real can't stop talking about this. Just reading the ingredients of the TamPacks was crazy because it was like this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and then it was like, I don't know any of those are. Uh I know what organic cotton is and I know what um that's it. That's all that should be in my tampon and going up my hoo-ha.
