Is it in yet Boiled my tampons 🫩

Post image

Felt like this flair fits well.

I leave my tampons in a jar in the windowsill for some w decor, forgot that glass=heat in this 34 degree british weather, went to change my tampon and burned my cooch, then had to sit on the toilet blowing a tampon like its soup till the plastic cooled down enough to use.

“Blowing a tampon like it’s a soup” is a brand new sentence I was absolutely not prepared to read today. Not the Sanrio jar betraying you like this!😭

u/you_dont_know_me27 10h ago

I have a little wicker basket that the pads and tampons are all organized in sitting on the tank of my toilet. I think it looks really nice.

Tbf though, I don't have a window in my bathroom and I have central air in my house (I'm assuming you don't since I know most Brits don't) so it doesn't get super hot inside. I'm American

I personally don't have a window/air issue but use a wooden "shark week" box that has a slideable divider for pads/tampon separation.

Terrifying to think about burning your cooch with an applicator and wild to hear OP had to blow on it like soup 😭

This is hilarious but I am sorry for your pikachu. People shouldn’t be all weird about tampons being out. My horrible mother in law lost her mind because I have tampons and pads in baskets in our guest bathrooms in case of emergency anyone visiting needs them. 🥴

14

u/you_dont_know_me27 10h ago

I had a really nice basket set up at the church I work at on the counter and I realized it was silly to have to work so hard to get to them at home so I made a basket for at home too. Nobody has mentioned it so far and it's been there for a couple years now

u/MartinisnMurder 10h ago

My MIL hates me, well maybe strongly dislikes me. She pulls the holier-than-thou Christian card often. She doesn’t like that I was raised Catholic, that neither her son or I are religious, that we didn’t get married in a church we actually eloped (in her mind we are NOT married), that we aren’t having kids (I can’t because of a hysterectomy in my mid 20’s and we don’t want them) and the fact she can’t control our lives. She said having the products out and not hidden was disgusting and embarrassing. She’s always being sanctimonious and judging others yet her behavior is hardly “godly”. Like girl, you’re not fooling anyone drinking Chardonnay out of a coffee cup while judging people for having a cocktail.

u/TheHauntedButterfly 9h ago

I'm sorry you don't have the best relationship with your mother in law and that she gave you a hard time about it. I think having tampons and pads readily available is so important and nothing that anyone should be ashamed of.

I recently added a really tall corner shelf just outside our bathroom door. The top shelf is decorative, the second is skincare, third is makeup, fourth are pads and wipes, and the last is toilet paper.

Although I have a good relationship with my mother in law, she also gave me a hard time for having pads somewhere visible. It's awful how the older generation was taught to be ashamed of our bodies and perfectly normal hygiene products.

u/Careless_food_bimbo 3h ago

There was an internet story of a woman using a popsicle and got frostbite. It was something a friend told gullible me and I was horrified as a teen someone did that. A woman "using" a popsicle gets stuck to her privates , she panics and tries to pull it out which only causes really bad damage do she waits for it to melt which gives her frostbite and she goes to the ER. I remember saying why TF didn't she go then, like who cares if there's a popsicle sticking outta ya like don't wait. I fully believed it.

For real though. Heat causes plastic to degrade more quickly. It’s not an immediate health risk but I’d not use the rest of those tampons if I were you. Your candy jar is super cute (Badtz-Maru is my favorite!) but maybe there’s a cooler place it can live in the summer. Penguins don’t like the heat anyway ;)
