South African women worried about pads

Many people commented on the video, mortified about what the woman found in her pad. Other online users insisted that the specks were simply cotton and were of no cause for concern. Watch the video of the lady putting the pad under a light:


Mbali~ did not think anyone should be worried:

"Guys, it’s cotton bits 😭open them and check inside, you’re gonna see the cotton pieces and not whatever you think it is. I tried it myself 😭"

Mimi added:

"The yellow glow people see under the light isn’t dirt or anything dangerous; it’s just fluorescence. The adhesives and fibres in pads can react to UV or strong white light, making them appear yellowish even though they’re clear."

Hunadii❤️😍 cracked a joke:

"No wonder it bites us😭😭"


Z I N H L E🧚 speculated why some may get reactions:

"Those who are saying they get a reaction to these.. It’s the friction from moving around and stuff. There are pads( black and pink ones with clouds) that are more comfortable, soft and don’t cause a reaction. Speaking from experience 💁🏽‍♀."
