Why Sea Sponges?
As some of you may have heard, there are dangers associated with using tampons. In addition to TSS (toxic shock syndrome), studies are now scrutinizing the cancer-causing bleaching agents used in mainstream tampons and sanitary pads. (Some more on that here.) As a wonderful alternative, many people have switched to using natural sea sponges. (For more alternatives, see below.) This is a traditional method, and is once again gaining in popularity. Sponges are sold commercially for this use, but are rather expensive when purchased this way, so I recommend just buying large sea sponges, and dividing them yourself. The best thing about using sea sponges, is they are soooooo comfortable. When moistened with clean water, they are soft, supple and absorptive. There’s none of that horrible dryness that tampons cause. Also, unlike tampons, they’re comfortable to use for light flow, or no flow. For this reason, they are great for using at night, which is not recommended with tampons. Are Sea Spo
