Just out of curiousity...

I know that tampons can cause TSS. From the research I've done, it seems that pads can also cause the same illness. Is it only tampons, or pads too?

There is a very SLIM chance of getting TSS. Some researchers now think that tampons don't cause it at all. Either way I wouldn't worry about getting TSS.

Any foreign object in or around the vagina too long can cause it, but especially super absorbant tampons...

pads dont cause TSS. tampons do.

some doctors argue that neither tampons or pads cause it
