Warning

ATTENTION: TAMPONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME (TSS). TSS IS A RARE BUT SERIOUS DISEASE THAT MAY CAUSE DEATH. PLEASE READ AND SAVE THE ENCLOSED INFORMATION. THE RISK OF TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME (TSS) INCREASES WITH HIGHER ABSORBENCY. IN ORDER TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF TSS, YOU SHOULD USE THE LOWEST ABSORBENCY THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS. Always use the lowest absorbency needed to suit that day's flow. Why? To lower your risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). WHAT IS TSS? Vomiting, diarrhea, or both. Sunburn-like rash. If you have one or more of these symptoms, you should remove your tampon immediately and contact your local doctor for immediate treatment. Tell your doctor that you have been using tampons and think that you may have TSS. If you have experienced TSS warning signs in the past consult your physician before using tampons. If you have any questions about TSS or tampon use, consult your physician. Toxic shock syndrome is a rare but serious and potentially fatal illness associated with tampon use. It is caused by toxins produced by a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus that is commonly found on the skin and inside the nose and vagina. About half the cases are associated with tampon use; the remainder occur in men, children and women who are not menstruating. The risk of contracting TSS is highest among teenagers and women under the age of 30. The FDA estimates that the incidence of TSS is 1 to 17 per 100,000 menstruating women and girls per year. Studies have found that the risk of TSS may be related to tampon absorbency; the higher the absorbency, the greater the risk of TSS; the lower the absorbency, the lesser the risk. You can reduce your risk of getting TSS by using tampons with the lowest absorbency necessary for your menstrual flow, in addition to alternating using tampons and pads during your period. You can avoid the risk of tampon-associated TSS by not using tampons. Although it is infrequent, it is important to know the symptoms in order to identify the illness if necessary. TSS is treatable, but early recognition and treatment are important. Symptoms can appear suddenly during or just after menstruation and closely resemble those of the flu. The warning signs of TSS include: Sudden high fever (usually 102 degreesF or 39 degreesC or higher) and chills. Fainting or near fainting when standing up, dizziness, weakness. Muscle aches TSS can rapidly progress from flu-like symptoms to a serious illness that can be fatal. L. tampon fibers have been bleached using an elemental chlorine-free method

SCAN UPC FOR ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ENCLOSED. Use for 8 hours maximum. IMPORTANT Please read this pamphlet before using L. tampons. It's much easier to insert a tampon when you're relaxed. If you're unsure about what to do, refer to the instructions below. You got this. A tampon is actually made up of two parts-the tampon itself that you insert into your body, and the plastic applicator you use to insert it. 1. Wash your hands and then unwrap the tampon. The slim applicator tip should be rounded and the strings should hang out the bottom of the applicator. If you notice any flaws or deformities, do not use the tampon. 2. Place the rounded tip of the applicator at the vaginal opening. Insert the applicator: hold the bottom of the larger tube applicator using your thumb and middle finger. 3. Now, using your index finger gently slide the smaller inner tube all the way into the larger outer tube and into your vagina until your fingers touch your body. 4. Gently pull out the applicator and throw it in the trash. DO NOT FLUSH THE PLASTIC APPLICATOR. The tampon should now be comfortably inside you in its precise place with the string outside your body. When the tampon is correctly placed, you should not feel anything. If you feel uncomfortable, it is likely that you have not inserted the tampon sufficiently deep enough. If so, you should remove the tampon and insert a new one. WHEN SHOULD I CHANGE THE TAMPON? REMOVING THE TAMPON Wash your hands after inserting the tampon. You should change your tampon at least every 4-8 hours. Tampons can be worn overnight for up to 8 hours. If you sleep for more than 8 hours, use a pad instead. Removal of your tampon should be easy. Slowly and gently pull on the withdrawal string to remove it from your body. If you feel discomfort while removing the tampon, it has not yet fully absorbed. You may either want to wear a tampon longer next time or use a lower absorbency. ALWAYS make sure that you have removed the last tampon before inserting another. Do not use tampons between periods or for non-menstrual discharge. Be sure to remove the last tampon you use at the end of your period
