Why is he upset? I hear they’re great for packing bullet wounds!
I’m currently taking a shit mere inches from a box of my wife’s tampons and I’m scared, you guys. What if one finds its way into my butt?
You’re already compromised
Don’t worry the
femalebody has ways to try to shut that down.I got that reference!
You have to tell the tampon you don’t consent, legally the tampon can’t crawl in your butt then
So it’s like a vampire? You have to invite it in?
Well, it does want to suck your blood…
Nah, they don’t want to, they are non consenting lol
Omg things to help us manage normal bodily functions exist, all our children are going to die!!!
I mean yeah though, right?
Nobody’s being “forced” to do anything.
“Being the presence of tampons will literally force boys to transition to girls. I spoke with several scientists that told me this. The penis and testicles will literally shrink and go back up into the boy and transform into a vagina.”
Me buying 1000000000 tampons right now
You joke but that’s the kind of shit fox “news” feeds the cult.
I really wish the courts would make them strip the news title from their stuff if they are going to use the excuse that they aren’t a need company and are purely for entertainment. Bag of dicks I tell ya. Wait, if I put tampons in the bathrooms in government facilities those toxic dumb nuts could just… Leave?
Oh I know, I remembered Jesse Waters talking about men that vote for women will transition into women and that “scientists told him”.
They’re so fucking stupid.
Megan Kelly has the energy of a shitty cheerleader mocking a kid for needing an ADA bathroom stall.
Now just here me out: What if the girls’ bathroom is full up on people, or broken down for some reason. Wouldn’t it be nice if a girl had to go into the boys’ bathroom in an emergency, that they would have access to those things.
Boys don’t have special requirements to use the bathroom. I can go anywhere just about. I can take leak on the side of the road with only a car door for privacy in ten seconds. Boom, I’m done.
They’re just cotton cylinders. Unless they’re giving out used ones, which seems a tad unlikely.
I’m a 56 DWcisM who lives alone on a sailboat with a cat, and even I have a small box of regular Tampax aboard for guests, just-in-case. So they are in the boy’s bathroom, big woop. I hope condoms are in the both/all bathrooms too, but that would be asking too much.
I also have a larger box of generics I use to clean up spills in the boat.
Boys may play with them. Which is probably for the best actually. Removing stigma from basic hygiene products can only be a positive thing.
It’s not the point of them being there but a nice side effect.
Oh yes my sister loved it when my older brother stuck pads on her vanity mirror.
Stigma gone!
Yeah, like 99% in the boys room would be used for random shit.
Actually, one of the gals at work made a spooky ghost with a tamp from the dispenser and it’s been hanging on a desk since last halloween.
My old roommate dipped tampons in black cherry kool-aid, answer the door and look the person in the eyes while putting it in his mouth.
Good times.
It’s a bit wasteful though.
I forsee some being wasted at the beginning and then them eventually becoming the backup supply when the girls restroom runs out.
That is provided you don’t have some loser administrator just never refilling the boys room because of the waste.
Free tampons usually suck, so most people prefer to buy their own but are glad they are there in an emergency.
Work for nose bleeds if small enough, and they were originally made for bullet wounds, and everyone knows the schools are where these nuts like to start their rebellions. I assume they just think they need to level up like in a video game. Fn assholes
I remember my health teacher had mentioned this actually. She was a cross country coach I think and she used pads for a guy’s bleeding leg. Something like that, at least
Hate to be that guy but they never were and shouldn’t be used for bullet wounds. They were originally made to stop minor bleeding, though.
“A school with tampons in case of bullet wounds” is not exactly a nice thing to think of…
Kids will waste anything they get their hands on, but they’ll learn a bit as well
Why do people act weird when you get tampons for your girlfriend?
I think it’s a US thing. I’ve often bought tampons and of course nobody cares.
Nah its not just the US. I’ve run into similar in Ireland. I went into the supermarket to pick up pads and a tub of ice cream. Passed them to the young fella behind the counter who then leans over and whispers “do you need me to put them in a paper bag for ye?”
This just made me realize that I’ve never bought pads for my wife. I wouldn’t have any issue doing it, and I’m guessing she knows that, but she’s never asked me to.
Just look at the box, then grab the same one on your next grocery run. Do the same with her other feminine products. Put them in the cabinets where they go. Act like it was nothing. Make her wonder how long it was since she bought them herself.
Advanced mode: Figure out her clothing sizes and what colors work for her, what fabrics feel nice, then get her a cute blouse or dress. Don’t make it a big deal.
See what happens. One of my best friends mastered this. Dude cleaned up in college.
By buying women tampons and hiding them in their bathrooms? :p
She’s his wife. It’s their bathroom. He’s being considerate.
If you mean my friend, that was in reference to buying his girlfriend a cute blouse now and then. He did the same for friends, his sister, and mom. He wasn’t a fuckboy buying tampons to pick up women. Word got around that he was top shelf. He was funny, charming, considerate, honest, and knew his way around the women’s rack at Goodwill. If a relationship stopped working, he was seldom single long.
Yeah, I was just joking about the college friend, I knew what you meant but combining the two stories so the guy is going in and putting tampons in college girls private bathrooms would be a bit of an absurd thing.
I too have purchased feminine products for my wife :P it was weird the first time, mostly because I had no idea what I was looking for.
After 24 years of marriage if she isn’t interested in me buying her pads, I don’t think it’s the best surprise present. I’ve bought far more embarrassing things for her regarding body stuff when she’s needed them, so I think she just doesn’t want me to do it. It’s not like she hides them. I mean, she’s also never asked me to buy shampoo or soap or whatever for her. She would rather get exactly what she wants than rely on me to do it for that sort of thing.
I’ll probably screw it up and buy the wrong ones even if I look at the box. And she’d probably be right with my memory.
And to be fair, I haven’t gone out of my way to ask her to buy hygiene stuff for me either. We both got in the habit of shopping for ourselves for those sorts of things and it’s working out for us.
Honestly, it’s so inconsequential that, as I said, I didn’t even realize I’d never done it until I thought about it.
Heck, I once had to go get my mom AND my grandma tampons, and since there was a promotion I got like 3 of the granny ones, no one cared and I only remember because I was like a teenager and thought everyone would care, but no one did!
such a weird thing to be mad about
“They forced 4th graders to be in a room with LIGHTBULBS… those kids arent electricians!! What are they gonna do with all those lightbulbs in the ceilings?? Disgusting!”

I’d be more worried about my child saying “totally norms” than I would them being within arms reach of a tampon.
Useful in a pinch of you get a nosebleed.
Also great for cleaning up small spills in the engine compartment on my boat. Tape one to the end of a stick and go.
They can also be used to plug bullet holes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So in an elementary school bathroom is a logical placement.
To be clear: that’s basically a myth. While it’s often repeated and sounds logical - they’re the right shape, size and made to absorb blood - they’re not the right solution for that particular job.

Tl;dr: tampons only absorb about 10ml of blood and don’t really stop the actual bleeding by cutting off the source. You’re better off using a tourniquet, packing the wound with hemostatic dressing, regular gauze or even a shirt or other clothing. Those have a better chance of actually providing enough force to actually plug the artery.
I don’t think anyone was suggesting medics jam one in a bullet tract and be like, “go home, boys. Our job is done”
Obviously. But you want to be sure there’s someone left to save before that medic does show up. Which might be a while.
In first aid, doing the wrong thing can be quite detrimental. So people should at least be aware that there’s better options at hand even if they don’t have an actual tourniquet or other medical supplies.
