Innerwear
Innerwear is perfect for between periods, made in a small enough size to absorb that tiny amount of excess clear dampness that normally leaks from the vagina between periods.

What about Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?
Results of a recent study published in Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology suggest that the use of all-cotton tampons may reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome when compared with rayon and rayon- blend tampons. In the study, all-cotton tampons did not produce the dangerous TSS toxin Staphylococcus aureus, while all other varieties containing rayon amplified production of the toxin TSS-TI.
The study included 20 varieties of tampons, a polyurethane contraceptive sponge, a latex diaphragm and a polymer menstrual collection cup.
Early scientific studies of the 1980's concluded that super absorbency tampons may increase the risk of TSS. The reported risks are higher to women under 30 years of age and teenage girls. The incidence of TSS is estimated to be between 6 and 17 cases of TSS per 100,000 menstruating women and girls per year. Cotton Innerwear does not boast greater absorbency, but better absorbency, and unlike traditional internally-used disposable products, the inner tissues remain wet at all times when Innerwear is used.
Innerwear will undergo clinical testing as required by the FDA.
