Here is interesting information on this topic:
http://www.endocenter.org/endostudy.htm
I am someone that doesn't like NOT using tampons. I have switched to
using Natracare tampons, which are made from organic cotton. Not sure
if this will make a difference in my endo or not, but they are "greener"
than conventional tampons at any rate. They have some additional info.
on their website as well.
