** What is Viscose/Rayon?
Rayon is a type of viscose which is a petrochemical based by-product. It has the same characteristic of natural cotton with much higher liquid absorbency. It is easier and less expensive to produce fluff from Rayon than Cotton; this is why rayon is the preferred material used in a pad's Absorbent Core, even though rayon is not as safe for the body or environment as cotton.
Dangers of Viscose/Rayon and Other Cotton Fillers?
Feminine hygiene products made with Viscose/Rayon are more dangerous because of their highly absorbent fibers. These fibers contain dioxin, a harmful chemical, that when left behind in or against the body could lead to it's proliferation and eventual cause of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome).
A yeast infection in the vaginal area, typically occurs in warm, moist environments. The viscose/rayon, synthetics, plastics, cellulose, perfume, superabsorbents, and other petrochemical materials found in other feminine hygiene products traps moisture, increasing the likelihood of developing a yeast infection. These compounds create what's called a "heat-dampness micro-climate," which is an ideal situation for the proliferation of bacteria, fungi, and other irritation-causing subjects."
Maxim products only use cotton, which is highly breathable, helping to reduce the risk of irritation, allergy and infection.
What is Chlorine/Dioxin?
Industry standard methods use Chlorine to bleach the Fluff Pulp, Cotton or Rayon in feminine hygiene products. The purpose of bleaching is to disinfect these materials from germs and whiten the color.
Dioxin is a chemical substance or residue of Chlorine, which stays within the fluffs of Cotton or Rayon. It is a kind of poison that can be harmful to human health, if the dosage becomes too high in the body.
Dioxin Dangers
Dioxin is a toxic carcinogenic product that could cause serious health problems in women and men.
1. Short term exposure: poisoning, skin lesions, liver damage
2. Long Term exposure: damage to the reproductive system (endometriosis, abnormal shedding of the uterus lining), impairment of immune system.
3. Chronic exposure: links to cancer
