Vegans In The Renaissance | The History of Veganism Part Three

Against a dark background, from the right-hand side, a hand and forearm can be seen. The hand is holding the string of a dangling tampon between a finger and thumb.

Are tampons vegan? Are they even safe? This may seem like an odd question at first glance, but the answers may surprise you.
