I have heard of people using these by diluting ACV with water.
Im wondering why you would dilute the ACV if the PH is 4.5-5....and the PH of water is higher than that...
Wouldnt it be better to use pure ACV?

Pure vinegar is so strong that you can use it as a weed killer...seriously, one of my sons did it as a science project.

You can use the Heinz style ACV for tampons if you must, but you have to be SUPER careful because while some ACV do have a higher pH in the 4-5 range, other vinegars are more like 2-3 pH (this is also what lime has) so if you do want to go this route, be sure it's really pH 5. i would test it in advance of making tampons with it to be sure it's high enough in pH.

I am not a fan of tampon-related-anything-other-than-AF (even tho I do have directions on here for those who want them) but PLEASE do not use straight lime or any vinegar without testing pH you'll hurt yourself and will not get pg.
