My partner doesn’t want me to use tampons during my period, saying that ‘it could cause health problems and it’s harmful.’ To be honest, there’s no rational basis for that, but they believe it so strongly that I didn’t want to argue. But in the end, it’s my body and my choice, right? I’m a bit uneasy about them making decisions regarding my hygiene. What do you think I should do?
my ex used to insist on something like this too. it wasn’t a tampon, but something else. I was so angry that I was all tangled up. that’s when I realized you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to do. just speak clearly, move on.
How long have they been getting involved in things like this? I mean, is this the first time? 
@soncaykaldi to be honest, they had commented on a pair of shorts I wore before, but at that time I didn’t push the issue much since I wasn’t having a headache.
@aklimkaldi that’s the problem, you know. Once you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. They start to monitor you step by step. You really should have just ignored them.
Tampons can be risky for health, but this is generally related to hygiene. When used correctly, there are no harms, especially if you get information from a doctor, you can feel more at ease.
Why are you taking his word seriously? Just type it into Google and that’s enough.
