A member asked:
Please tell me, could i be allergic to kotex tampons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly possible: to be allergic to an ingredient in it although I have never seen a case nor have examined the different ingredients in the tampons. The best way to tell is avoid using it for a month and see if your condition improves. If you want to prove the point, use it again and observe for onset of similar symptoms in 24-72 hours .
