"The highest PFAS content was seen in a subset of the menstrual underwear products we analyzed," Peaslee said."There were also a few reusable pads, disposable pads and incontinence underwear samples that had total F levels high enough to indicate PFAS was intentionally added. Some of the plastic wrappers and applicators for pads and tampons were also of concern.""In general, tampons didn't seem to contain fluorine," she said in a statement.
