OK we really need a BIBYAAN SECTION ONLY controlled by bibi admins.. :umm: :o
but back on the topic - i havent really heard that tampons are not gurmat neither have I ever heard a amrit dhari bhenji saying so. But generally there are many risks using tampons. Plus they dont really work as well as normal pads. you still end up having a high chance of leaking more through them, they're more unreliable especially wen you want to go gurdwara without leaking. As for going gurdwara whilst you are on your period and using a tampon most gurdwara toilets dont have facilities for disposing tampons/pads, so sticking to pads is easier as tampons you have to no matter what change it after a few certain hours before infection or TSS occurs.
