Would these be good to use for TTC a girl?

jd, I am also highly intrigued by those. They are supposed to lower pH and are permeated with something that lowers pH. Makes me wonder if it would be a good alternative for a lime tampon. WARNING - do not use dry tampons because that is a risk factor for toxic shock syndrome!!

What we need to find out is - IF we soak the repHresh tampons in just plain old water (without all the screwing around with lime), will they be as effective as lime tampons? Would they be a good addition to a sway or is it too much effort??

I will order some and play around with them but I'm not having my period or TTC right now LOL! I would be really interested to hear about anyone's experience.

Well, I read on IG that it isn't the right chemical...but hmm, still intriguing to maybe use.

I think the main thing would just to help get pH low...not to use for a lime tampon or anything like that. I dunno?

Are you saying, use during AF to help keep pH down? I think that may be a good idea! Can't hurt, may help.

I DON'T want people to use a tampon every day though. That is NOT SAFE.
