Actually "changing often" is not the "rule". If the tampon is dry when you pull it out that's when Toxic shock is most likely to strike. A super absorbent tampon raised that awareness a couple decades ago.Making them free actually solves that problem, if the girls know the rules, change often...Who'd like to lay odds on how long it'll be before NYC is sued for a case of Toxic Shock Syndrome?
If only we would end the doomed-to-failure War on Tampons. Just imagine the savings in court time alone...Yes, the black market for tampons is HUGE!

Yeah. OK. Often means more than once a day! Unless you are on the last day of the period and low flow, seriously, duh. Anyway. Thanks for clearing that up.Actually "changing often" is not the "rule".

Changing often is definitely the rule because TSS is caused by bacteria build up!
What is toxic shock syndrome (TSS)?
TSS is a rare bacteria caused illness occurring mostly in menstruating women who use high absorbency tampons. Non-menstrual TSS risk is increased for women who use vaginal barrier contraceptive methods (such as the diaphragm), although the incidence is much lower.
What causes TSS?
The main cause of TSS is a strain of staph, the bacterium Staphylococcus Aureus. Hyperabsorbent tampons may facilitate the infection because their prolonged intra-vaginal use enhances the bacterial growth. Wearing a diaphragm or sponge for more than 24 hours is not recommended because of possible risk of TSS.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of TSS occur suddenly: a high fever (102°F, 38.8°C or higher), vomiting, diarrhea, a sunburn-like rash, red eyes, dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle aches and drops in blood pressure, which may cause fainting. The infection can cause shock, kidney and liver failure. These symptoms require prompt medical evaluation.
How is it treated?
If TSS is suspected, hospitalization is recommended. Intravenous fluids and antibiotics will be administered.
Can it be prevented?
You can reduce the risk of TSS by alternating your tampon or internally worn products with pads. Use a tampon with the minimum absorbency needed to control your flow. Review the information on absorbency of your tampon brand. Change the tampon or internally worn product as directed. If you have ever been diagnosed with TSS, you should not use tampons.
This is insane. Everybody knows the girls are gonna grab them and sell them to female non-students. If we're gonna give these away it has to be done by a school official. Better yet just tell the girls to use THEIR MONEY and buy them at a store.
City schools to offer free feminine hygiene products
March 14 2016 For the first time ever, city schools are dispensing free tampons and pads to students.
Girls at 25 public schools will get the items from bathroom dispensers in a program that starts Monday, the Daily News has learned.
The push for free feminine hygiene products will reach roughly 11,600 students when it is fully implemented by March 31, Education Department officials said.
The goal is to help female students focus on learning and feel comfortable during class, said Deputy Schools Chancellor Elizabeth Rose, who’s helping to manage the project.
This isn't about you. But thanks for sharing.I've been using tampons since I was 13 and have never had a problem. Change them often.

Yes, the same people who pay for the other bathroom supplies. Hardly a radical thing eh, it's all hygiene...Except they are not free...someone pays for it
So, you started using tampons at 13...you've been using them for almost a year, judging by your maturity.This isn't about you. But thanks for sharing.I've been using tampons since I was 13 and have never had a problem. Change them often.
Just sayin, bitch.

Do you think students should have to pay for toilet paper? What about soap? Paper towels? Should the stalls be coin-operated?
Hey eiinstein. This is a GIRLS-ONLY program. THINK
The black girls esp will be grabbing all these they can stuff in their slimy paws to sell back in the ghetto. Another way to cheat the white taxpayers. What a terrible idea.

Are there any sizes large enough to stuff and stifle that hate spewing ignorance oozing mouth of his? He's got some kind of white "superiority" complex and doesn't realize the 200,000 yrs. of evolution he missed means he didn't reach the sapien benchmark, making his delusion of superiority over any human an unreachable dream.
