Thousands of people commented on the clip, with many pointing out that it is unprofitable and could be harmful to those eating it, with studies showing some tampons contain toxic chemicals.
According to the National Library of Medicine, tampons are a potential source of chemical exposure.
Most tampons are made from cotton or cotton blends, although some tampons are made solely from rayon.
Studies increasingly show that tampons, sanitary pads, and menstrual underwear contain toxic chemicals linked to fertility problems, thyroid disruption, cancers, and many other serious health problems.
About 57 million Americans rely on menstrual products such as tampons, sanitary napkins and silicone cups each year, potentially exposing themselves to chemicals that increase their risk of developing certain cancers or significantly imbalance their hormones.
A study conducted by the University of Notre Dame in August, revealed that while none of the tampons tested in the study contained everlasting chemicals, or PFAS, they were found in some packaging and plastic applicators of tampons, liners and incontinence pads.
PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance, are man-made compounds that can potentially build up in the body over time and take years to break down.
PFAS are linked to a host of health problems, including infertility, high blood pressure in pregnant women, low birth weight and developmental delays in children, hormonal disruptions, high cholesterol and a poor immune system.
