Every woman has one. Yesterday was mine. I had just finished my biology class at college and needed to go to the bathroom and “change”. I had packed 2 tampons in my purse. I was in the bathroom by myself but still, my experience was not pleasant. I usually buy Tampax but this time I went el cheapo and got the store brand.
BIG MISTAKE. Both the tampons I had packed were CRAP. The applicator would not move the tampon! I learned the hard way with the first one mid “change” . And the second one I just held in my hands to see WTF was up. They both went in the trash. And like a miracle I found a Tampax in the bottom of my purse. Hallelujah! There is no way I could have gone just a pad I go too heavy so I needed my tampon to work.
Store Brand Tampons – EPIC FAIL!
I know it could have been worse I could have been having an accident in front of someone but I assure you I had a major freakout moment.
Anyone else have a tampon story?
I already told you mine. But sometimes you have to twist and wiggle the top part.

You know, I have used Tampax my whole life but after I had my son, I went to the store to buy some for the first time in almost a year and lo and behold I discovered they had changed the design. I was not happy about it and after all this time I finally gave up on them and went strictly for generic .. and I’m not talking store brand, I’m talking total generic. They look/act just like the old tampax.. which is exactly what I want.
Now, on to my tampon story.
When I was about 8 or 9 my mom was in the shower. It was a regular occurrence for me to just walk in there if I wanted to. On this particular day my mom turned around to get out of the shower… and there, hanging… was this peculiar string. So I said “hey, what’s that?” I thought it was like some kind of magical thing only grown women had (you know, kind of like pubic hair). Well, that was that last time I ever seen my mom naked from the waste down. Her face turned beet red and she got so ticked off! haha. I didn’t realize what I did wrong at the time but thinking back on it now cracks me up. My mom is so uptight that I have never even heard her deliberately pass gas so I’m pretty sure for her the whole thing was traumatizing lol.
The End.

My tampon story… Well, I was a camp counsellor for 2 years in New Hampshire. Before I went to camp, I taught myself how to use tampons. Fine. no big deal. I did this for convienience. Brought tampons to camp in a large tupperware and shoved them on a shelf. Well, apparently the camps septic is SO old that you can’t even flush tampons. so, I had to gross myself out and wrap it and THEN throw it. And not to mention it’s HUMID in New Hampshire and all the tops of my tampons started “blossoming” It was NOT a nice experience!

OH MY GAWD!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
Our plumbing has had a few issues in the past so I am afraid to flush tampons, so I do the “wrap and trash”. We took in my dad’s terrier after my dad passed away last year and some friends and I went out for a girls’ night out. Hubby was at home with some friends and the terrier came down with something hanging out of his mouth. Hubby went to grab whatever it was out of his mouth and….yep, you guessed it, used icky tampon in the dog’s mouth in front of hub’s friends -geesh!!

Oh my gosh how embarrassing!! Our plumbing is septic here and I hate to flush anything but I literally can’t not use tampons the first couple days because I will leak all over from the *TMI* pooling *TMI*. Sometimes it SUCKS being a woman!
This is HILARIOUS!!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!

LOL I TOLD you there are certain things you do not buy on the cheap…tampons, condoms, pregnancy tests.
My story…well there was the time my husband and I were getting busy and I forgot I had the tampon in…mood killer.
Or when I was at 6th grade camp and started my period for the first time…all they had were these dam saddles with a BELT from the 60′s for me to use. Then when my Mom came to pick me up, i made the HUGE mistake of telling her…she immediately went to my teacher to tell her and the boy who was ALWAYS in trouble was sitting in the naughty desk and heard EVERYTHING. My mom claimed that she thought it was a girl because he had long hair.
By the next morning it was all over school that I had stated my period.
THANKS, mom.

There are some things that you just can’t buy generic for. These are one of them. I have oe brand and only one brand that I will get and if the store is out, I go to another. I refuse to settle for anything else.
