Female intimate products under the microscope

Press/Media: Public Engagement Activities

Description

Cosmetics and toys are strictly regulated in Europe. Unfortunately, this is not the case for tampons, sanitary pads and even sex toys. That's why Quinten Marcelis (VUB - Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Sciensano) is looking at female intimate products. In this way, he wants to check whether they may contain toxic substances and should therefore be removed from the market.
