Tampons

Not all tampon companies post an expiration date on their products, perhaps assuming you’ll get through the box long before the items go bad. But if you’re a sucker for a bulk-buy deal, you might stock up on years’ worth of tampons to get a discount, getting to that final box a little too late. Typically, tampons last about five years, but if you notice any mold on your tampon, do not use it. This can lead to serious irritation. Also, keep in mind that organic brands, though allegedly better for your body, may expire faster than their competitors as they lack the preservatives of more chemical-heavy alternatives. Don’t take risks with tampons – something you put literally inside of yourself. If you’re out of new ones, use a (fresh) pad until you can restock.
