Do tampons have an expiry date?

[Phteven]

I just found a packet of tampons in my drawer that are about a year old. Are they safe to use?

[Tinks]

I'd say so as long as the wrapping is in tact.

I would say they would be too. I reckon I've used some that have been in my cupboard for a year or something. Like I bought them before getting pregnant, then using them afterwards too. As long as the seal isn't broken.

I've used them older than that.. and I'm still here, girly bits intact.

Yeh as long as they are still in the wrapper iv used them, u know when you find an old handbag and find all these strange things in them u forgot about , always a few Tampons in the bag

Yep, as long as they are still wrapped, no problem.
I too find stray tampons in my handbag, makeup drawer, bathroom cupboard.

I just looked at my tampon box and there was an expiry date of 2014 on it. I didn't know they had expiry dates

Maybe they have to put one on, like a disclaimer incase someone tries a law suit against them for Toxic Shock? Intersting..running off to check mine now

alot of things have dates on them not all the dates are use by, alot of products have to have a sale by date instead, meaning the retailer has to keep the stock moving on itms?
