The new and improved Tampon thread... (explanation for EAers)

[lynnzop]

I heard a funny story about tampons once. This woman couldn't figure out why the full box was empty every time it was her time of the month...she was the only female in the house.

Then she walked into her 5 year old son's room one day and he was playing with his toy soldiers. They were shooting off "cannons"....you guessed it. The tampons were flying everywhere.

:hi: Jax, you joined us yet?????

My kids like to strap them to the soldiers backs like they are parachutes. I guess they like the fact they have a string.

When I was a kid, I used to steal them from my mom, yand the string around to loosen them, and give them to my girbils to make nesting.

Who knew there were so many uses for tampons?! Someone should write a book about it!

[cristina1]

Just give a bunch of young children a box and they can come up with tons of uses I bet!

Pads also have their uses. DH likes to tell the story about when he was in high school, on a field trip, and one of the kids sliced open the bottom of his foot pretty bad. No first aid kit on the bus, so the teacher opened up a pad and wrapped it around the wound until they could get back and take him to the doctor.

I also understand the small ones and panty liners make great kitchen skates for little kids. Just peel off the backing, slap it on your foot or sock and off you go!

And, of course, there's always the old joke about the kid who set the table for company with "napkins". [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Hubby's bought me pantiliners when I had a gyn procedure done and was lying on the couch in too much pain to go to the store. I don't think I could make it a regular errand on his list, though [img]wink.gif[/img]

Meanwhile, he once had a tooth removed and the pocket wouldn't stop bleeding. We ran out of gauze on the way back to the dentist so I cut tampons in half and he used them instead of the gauze. Very absorbant. (He was bleeding so profusely that he went through three tampon halves on the 30-minute trip to the dentist!)
