The Skinny on “Sports” Tampons


Though it seems like a marketing gimmick, tampons designed for sports use are actually useful


for female athletes because they flare out after absorbing liquid rather than remaining in a tubular

can rub you raw and create a great deal of inflammation,” Michele Olson recommends.
