Flex Confirms Period Discs and Cups Are Free From Harmful Metals and PFAS Amid Concerns Over Toxic Chemicals in Tampons
The lack of research is contributing to a growing crisis of consumer trust, with many asking "Flex Continues to Offer Non-Toxic Solutions as FDA Investigates Toxic Metals in Menstrual Products
Flex繼續提供無毒解決方案，FDA調查女性用品中的有毒金屬
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Flex, a leader in sustainable period care, announced today that independent third-party lab testing has confirmed all Flex menstrual discs and cups are free from harmful PFAS (forever chemicals), lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. This announcement follows the FDA's recent decision to investigate toxic metals found in tampons, fueling discussions about the need for more research and innovation in menstrual health.
洛杉磯，2024年9月25日 /美通社/ -- Flex，可持續經期護理領導者，今天宣佈獨立第三方實驗室測試已確認所有Flex經期盤和杯子不含有害PFAS（永久化學物質）、鉛、砷、鎘和汞。這一聲明是對FDA最近決定調查在衛生棉條中發現的有毒金屬的回應，引發了關於在經期健康領域需要更多研究和創新的討論。
Despite the fact that tampons were patented in 1931, it took nearly a century for these products to undergo testing for harmful chemicals. The recent discovery of toxic metals in tampons has raised significant safety concerns, yet there is still inadequate research on the long-term health impacts on users.
儘管衛生棉條在1931年獲得專利，但這些產品經歷了近一個世紀才進行有害化學物質測試。最近在衛生棉條中發現有毒金屬引起了重要的安全性關注，然而對用戶長期健康影響的研究仍然不足。
The lack of research is contributing to a growing crisis of consumer trust, with many asking "what's safe?" Although some have turned to alternatives like organic tampons, period underwear, and organic pads, toxic chemicals have also been found in those products.
缺乏研究正在導致消費者信任危機不斷加劇，許多人詢問“什麼是安全的？雖然一些人轉向諸如有機棉條、經期內褲和有機衛生巾等替代品，但這些產品中也發現了有毒化學物質。
Lauren Wang, founder and CEO of Flex, commented: "There's no research into whether toxins in tampons are absorbed through vaginal walls. It raises the question: should period product manufacturers prove safety, or is it up to consumers to prove harm?"
Flex創始人兼CEO勞倫·王評論道：「沒有研究證明衛生棉條中的毒素是否會被陰道壁吸收。這引發了一個問題：經期用品製造商應該證明安全性，還是由消費者證明危害？」
Flex introduced its disposable menstrual disc in 2016 as a non-toxic, body-safe alternative to tampons. Since then, over 150 million discs have been sold with zero links to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Now, with lab results confirming Flex products are free from harmful metals and PFAS, Flex continues to lead as the #1 selling disc and cup brand in the U.S.
Flex於2016年推出了一次性經期盤，作爲衛生棉條的無毒、對身體安全的替代品。自那時以來，已售出15000萬盤，未出現任何與TSS（中毒性休克綜合徵）的聯繫。現在，實驗室結果證實了Flex產品不含有害金屬和PFAS，Flex繼續領先，成爲美國暢銷盤和杯品牌。
As public concern about chemical safety rises, fewer than 3% of American women know about Flex, and the Company remains committed to raising awareness of safe, non-toxic period care options.
隨着公衆對化學品安全的擔憂日益增長，不到3%的美國女性知道Flex，公司致力於提高人們對安全、無毒經期護理選擇的認識。
