Menstrual products, such as sanitary pads, can cause infections and even lead to potentially fatal toxic shock syndrome.

Publisher’s rating: Sanitary pads are not associated with toxic shock syndrome. Maintaining proper menstrual hygiene is the only guarantee against bacterial infection of the vagina.

The review distinguishes sanitary pads from internal menstrual products, stating that toxic shock syndrome is linked to products inserted into the vagina, not external protection such as pads. It also notes that improper pad use or infrequent changing may cause irritation or infection, while proper menstrual hygiene can help reduce risks.
