Great post from alive Magazine: A report published in Environmental Health Perspectives (2014) explains that fragranced feminine hygiene products in particular can contain endocrine (hormone) disruptors that may be absorbed into the body. Preservatives such as parabens can also be a source of chemical exposure, as can nonorganic cotton found in some conventional pads and tampons, which can contain trace amounts of pesticide residue. In fact, nonorganic cotton production is responsible for 18 percent of the world’s pesticide use.
