Relying is a superabsorbent tampa brand created by Procter & amp; Gambling started in 1975.
After a period of controversial marketing trials in Rochester and Fort Wayne, in August 1978 Procter and Gamble introduced the superabsorbent Rise tampon to the US market in response to women's demand for tampons that could absorb more menstrual flow without leak or replacement.
Unlike other tampons, made with cotton and rayon, Rely is unique: it uses carboxymethylcellulose and compressed polyester granules for absorption - the company released new products after extensive research on its safety. The design of this tampon can absorb nearly twenty times its own weight in the liquid. Next, the tampon will "bloom" into a cup shape in the vagina to withstand menstrual fluid. Because of this, his advertising slogan is "Even absorbing worries!", And claims it can last longer than the leading tampon, as it is made different. "Remember, They call it Rely" is the last line of most ads.
The superabsorbent properties of Rely cause vaginal dryness by absorbing the natural moisture of the vagina. Often this causes ulceration in the vaginal wall when the tampon is released, offering a pathway for bacteria to infect the bloodstream. Furthermore, the tampon 'superabsorbence means that the viscosity of the vaginal fluid is increased, providing an environment conducive to bacterial growth.
P & amp; G recall Relies on September 22, 1980 after the Centers for Disease Control released a report that summer, explains the bacterial mechanisms that lead to toxic shock syndrome, and Rely tampon is associated with more TSS than other tampons. [1] As part of a voluntary withdrawal, Procter and Gamble signed an agreement with Food & amp; Drug Administration "provides a program for notification to consumers and the taking of products from the market". The cost of Procter and Gamble recall is over USD $ 75 million.
One of the most important effects of attention to TSS in 1980 was that the FDA applied tampon regulation as a medical device and forced manufacturers to standardize tampon uptake and include package inserts warning users of the TSS risk tampon. In the market today tampons are made from both synthetic materials, especially rayon, and from cotton only. The main ingredients used in Rely, carboxymethylcellulose and polyester, were removed from the market in 1980.
The cases reported by TSS have dropped dramatically since the 1980s.
