Paraffin (Water-Repellent Wax)

Scout's take
Petroleum-derived wax used on the tampon string to prevent wicking and leaking. A small amount in a low-risk application, but natural alternatives like unwaxed organic cotton strings exist and would be a cleaner choice. Not a significant health concern at this exposure level, but it's what separates a great product from a perfect one.
