Because the companies who make contraceptives do their own safety tests and publish THEIR own results as the known facts, doctors WILL NOT record instances when patients report other problems which they associate with their contraceptive, claiming that as these side-effects are not acknowledged as common they must be of another cause. As such official figures for contraceptive safety have not been independently verified & can't be relied upon when assessing potential risk. "Depo-provera is known to lower circulating levels of Oestrogens in some women leading to lower bone mineral density. Concerns have also been raised regarding a possible link to increased risk of HIV infectionand its known side effects of depression, menstrual irregularity, weight gain, and loss of libido. It has been used as a population control device around the world, including in the U.S, and is being heavily marketed toward young women, women of color, low-income women, and women in prison."

We forget the body has an internal sense of equilibrium and is probably best left alone. Within reason. That is exactly what I imagine.

Let your body do what it's supposed to do naturally! It WILL get revenge on you later if you don't. LOL!

Maybe they are fine. If it makes you happy, then it can't be all that bad, right Sheryl Crowe? Seriously, I don't care if you have them, I just think it can't be very good, like genetically modified fruit and vegetables. I know nothing about them, I only speculate they can’t be good for you.

How many times has your wife/girlfriend helped you use a condom? It is nowhere near equivalent. Condoms are something 2 people use together, I doubt you could say the same about a tampon. If you could I real really don't want to know about it. Woman know a lot more about condoms than men know about tampons. It is a lot less likely that a woman would have let such an obnoxious comment remain on the package. If men make such ridiculous decisions we have no choice but to discriminate against them, it is for their own good, PS I am a man. Charlie

Why does it need a woman to manage a sector of a company purely because its about periods? I would doubt that it was his idea to put the messages on the pads despite it possibly being his final desicion. The nearest equivilent is me saying women shouldnt manage condom brand operation because they dont have cocks whic would get me shot down for being a chauvaniust pig. Cathy, why are you so sexist?
