I love the Kotex U or whatever it’s called - with the black boxes and neon tampon packaging. So easy to insert, and not cloyingly pink as a bonus. I’m not a frequent tampon user, so these were a relief to find because they’re just easy and comfortable (well, as comfortable as tampons get)
Sweetheart, the reason you said “feminine products” instead of “tampons/pads” and “their sensitive weeks” instead of “their periods” is the reason why not every mother in America does what you think they should do.
Your mom gave your sisters an “ample” supply so they could share with other girls who forgot their own. Just so you know.
Many possible reasons - perhaps the teens no longer have a mother? Are too embarrassed to ask their fathers to buy them?
Has no one ever made a DIY tampon before?!? I mean, that shit is SUPER TEMPORARY but it does work.
My mom grew up in the Soviet Union and they didn’t have any kind of menstrual products. You would use cotton gauze, and if you wanted a tampon, you’d wrap some cotton gauze around a match.
They’re more expensive, but I really like the kotex U (black box, neon colors)
Sensitive weeks is killing me. Say it with me, “during their period”. Is that so hard?
If some poor young women in two school districts getting free tampons is the thing that put a bee in your bonnet today .. I'm happy for you. It seems like you have very little to get upset about in life!
SENSITIVE WEEKS
Omg wrap it?? Holy shit am I just super dumb? I’d always neatly fold toilet paper into a makeshift emergency pad, but it wasn’t the best system. Once or twice it disappeared...blame the bell bottoms, I guess O.o
Okay, when I was in 7th or 8th grade, I still wasn’t used to everything you have to do to make sure you don’t bleed through your pants. It is much more work than you think, especially if you have a heavy period. If you don’t pack enough tampons in your backpack, or your period begins in school and you don’t have any…
You’re a dude, right? You must be a dude.
Because, as a teen, it was hard enough to even get to the bathroom every 1/2 hour to change my pad. There wasn’t a chance in hell I was going to be able to go the school nurse (holla Mom!) and make it to the bathroom too.
Why don’t mothers supply their children with toilet paper and tissues before they leave for school?
Now that I think about it, the high school I attended (in N. Toronto) did have condom machines (for the wily boys) but nothing for feminine hygiene.
Why don’t you sit down and think of all the reasons that mothers might not be able or willing to do this and then report back to us?
BY JOVE HE HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM!
Wait are people using their common sense? I don’t know how to feel about this. I’m unfamiliar with this feeling of late.
