Feminine care products
Whichever disposable feminine care products you use each month, you need to take care of where and how long you store them for. Tampons and towels can become moldy and attract bacteria unless they are kept in a cool and dry place. Thankfully, we use up our care products long before their expiration date.
Tampons last 5 years, and pads around 3 years, provided you keep them in a cool, dry place. After this point, they will start to disintegrate. Bear this in mind when you’re clearing out the back of the bathroom cabinet and find some old packets you’d forgotten about. Check the expiration date first!
