Are Tampons Vegan? Are They SAFE?
Are tampons vegan? And are they even safe? This may seem like an odd question at first glance, but the answers may surprise you. From the feminine hygiene industry’s seeming indifference to the plight of customers harmed and killed by their products, to the bizarre animal experiments carried out in the name of tampon safety, to the environmental impact of “That Time of The Month,” this video pulls no punches and take a long hard look as this long-taboo subject.
