I never had a problem using them.
Personally I preferred them because I hate
the smell of my menses. Now I have a
divacup so it doesn't matter, but yeah!
Scented tampons for the win!
However... if you are allergy prone or
have sensitive skin, you may get irritated
from scented tampons. They're not for
everyone.

Scented pads and tampons can increase your
chances of getting infections down there.

Yeah, ive heard that they can mess with
your hormones from one of my old "friends"
at school whos mom was a doctor and
wouldnt lt her use them... But i hate the
smell otherwise....
Hmm just thought i would ask what other
people think of sented and un sented
tampons...
Hey, this is a "dumb" question, but i cant
find another post that answers it, what
are the chances of getting pregnant while
having your period? Or can you get
pregnant if all the stuff is comming out?
Like how would the sperm get up there if
everything is working against it?
Just wondering....

I don't think any tampon can mess with
your hormones; I wouldn't believe that.
Yes, you can get pregnant on your period
even if all that stuff is coming out.

Yeah, tampons increase you chances of
getting infections, but it isn't because
they do anything to your hormones.
Yes, you certainly get pregnant during
your period. It all depends on when you
ovulate. Even if the blood is flowing
out, the sperm can still swim up. After
all, discharge comes out when we're not on
our period, yet sperm can still make it up
there.

i think putting scent to stink makes it
worse so i always go unscented. What they
need to put on tampons/pads is good odor
neutralizers.

Same here. It probably depends on
preferences and maybe even somewhat on
each woman's slightly unique smell. For
me, scented stuff often just smells like
perfume and stink combined.
