You couldn’t do some of that stuff with a proper tampon, he’s used an applicator tampon which as far as I know stop getting used by women by the time they are actually grown up.

Tampax are the worst. I’ve been smoking them for 5 years now and I still can’t rollerblade properly.

His first point is wrong, tampons aren’t sterile.

an ex cricketing colleague of mine used to swear by slipping a sanitary towel between his buttocks on humid days. His rationale was that if he didn’t, the combined effect of a sweathy crack, a backless jockstrap and the constant chafing of the back seam of a pair of polyester cricket whites lead to levels of redness beyond tolerable. I preferred a pair of cycling shorts myself, but could not argue with his observations on the rare occasions I attempted 50 overs of constant crouch and stand wicketkeeping without something cotton and absorbent between my whites and my ringpiece.

What i could argue with however was his habit of saving the used towel and then peeling off the adhesive tape and sticking the sweaty article to the back of someones clothes just as they left the changing room on the way to the bar.

Or stop watching Ray Mears programmes that encourage you to go into the wild. That way you will never get stuck.

Societal crash? What like being in town and the zombies break out? I can think of better things to grab than a tampon.

I love how men love the thought of being stranded and fighting for their lives with such implements as a tampon, orange peel and a dog turd to survive with. My husband has a game plan sorted should zombies ever take over. It’s all very exciting *yawn* 😀 😉

yeah yeah, heard it all before…… every monday night in fact or whatever day that walking the dead is on

Ah, I see your mistake. You’re confusing ‘on fire’ with ‘anally retentive and full of 46 years worth of other peoples jokes just waiting for an opportunity to be used (again)(and again)(and…’. 😀

There’s some indication that it’s actually a cultural thing. Women in some cultures/localities are averse to touching themselves when they are menstruating (or even just in general, in some instances), and so the applicator products are popular. One could argue that that is a matter of maturity; but I suspect that it’s not what you were implying.

when i lived on the edge of the bible belt in the usa you had to drive to the city(100mile roundtrip) to find non applicator tampons so agree it’s cultural

What cultures/localities?

Edit: Just saw above, suppose it can be cultural but there is still touching with applicator tampons, just not as much.

haha, damn it I wondered why I always made such a mess during menstruation. I love that word by the way, it’s definitely one of my favorites.

I like ‘vestibule’. 🙂

WHAT? Surely everyone knows ray is the king of extreme tea drinking and the best tea is made using nettles and kangaroo poo with water boiled up from the dying flames of the 747 crash of which you were the only survivor due to your convenient supply of female sanitary products used to cushion your landing.
EDIT or fashioned into an emergency liferaft should the crash happen at sea

Mellifluous and sanguine are two of my favourite non-tampon related words. I have many more.

seems like a bl00dy good idea to me

What like pussies n stuff, how’d you eat yours?

PS: they forgot the obvious: bung for a nose bleed and packing for a catastrophic bleed from plane crash high up on the north face of Leith Hill.
