So I went through my drawer and found some tampons back from 2005. I only know their date because that was the last time I had AF. They are the OB kind. They look fine, but I don't know...........Do you think its possible? I knew someone who's friend died from that toxic shock thing that they claim tampons can do if kept in too long. Or is that just a myth? -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

You're probably right, about cotton not going bad. Unless of course it is wet in my drawer and it grows mold, which could happen if I lived by the beach, but mine isn't. Super dry here. I'll let you all know if I feel faint or anything.

Thanks
