Timely Removal of Tampons is Critical to Ensure Women’s Health and Safety
Overlooked or neglected tampons can pose serious health risks.
“Toxic Shock is serious business and this issue is not limited to young women who have just begun to menstruate,” said Dr. Jason Gooch, a board-certified OBGYN. “It really is very important for all women to be cognoscente of tampon placement times and an app like Tampon Minder is a great way to help them do so.
