Tampons in the kitchen? TikToker's grease-soaking method causes stir

TikToker Victoria, known as Victorias.Way on the platform, recently shared a controversial life hack that has sparked intense discussions among her followers. The mother claimed that using two small tampons is the simplest way to remove grease while cooking meat, as they effectively absorb the excess fat.

In her video, Victoria demonstrated placing the tampons directly into the pan, without bothering to pull the strings over the side like a tea bag.

As she proceeded with the cooking process, Victoria let the tampons rest to the side, allowing them to absorb the excess grease. This unconventional method triggered a heated debate in the comments section.

A commenter expressed strong disapproval, stating, "Hell nah!!! You outta line for this one." Another person named Mikaela raised concerns about the expense of tampons for such a purpose. Many viewers even jokingly advised against eating at others' houses after watching the video.

A significant point of contention centered around potential chemical exposure. The National Institute of Health acknowledges that menstrual products may contain traces of parabens, phthalates, and pesticide residue, further fueling the debate surrounding this unorthodox kitchen hack.
