i could never give up my tampons my cycles are just too heavy nowadays for pads alone, i'd need 3 of them, but i don't think it would cause infertility, it's only in the vagina itself. that is only my opinion, i haven't read any research,but tampons have been around for AGES, and i started using them at 14, and got pregnant naturally a coouple times years after, so idk....i mean if you can get away with a light enough period for just a pad you could try it, but me, i often am using a tampon, super plus, and a pad, on days 1 and 2, so.....
interesting story though, i hope it isn't tru though as so many of us do use them
thanks for sharing.
hugs, sherry
