Tampons are not made from animal products in any way, shape, or form - so why call them "vegan"?
Tampax explains:
Tampons are primarily made from absorbent ingredients like purified cotton, rayon fibers, or a blend of both.
So what's the "vegan" all about? Is a vegetarian somewhere planning to snack on one? I was at a shoe store the other day and saw some of the Sketchers were advertised as vegan, too. What the heck. Made me want to go out and get a steak.
