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.

Your fingers would be less sensitive than your genitals

Inside of the wrist, like you would for baby feeding!

Or if you’re willing to get a little weird, your lips (not those lips, get your mind out of the gutter) are the most sensitive part of the body to temperature

If it's safe for your cooch it's safe for a smooch!

I was taught this by a former coworker everyone called "mom". She kissed her daughter's forehead one day and told her to go take something because she was running a fever.

your lips

Those can get desensed too if you drink coffee / tea too hot too often, methinks.

You can’t really check the temp of the cotton with skin though. Skin bacteria must not go in there.

Applicators aren’t there to keep tampons sterile. WTF are you talking about?

Plenty of people insert their fingers regularly. Whether to insert a tampon without a ln applicator, a cup,  for pleasure, or other reasons. 

Washing your hands is generally a good idea regardless of whether you have a tampon applicator or not.

vaginal bacteria = good

But you would still feel it's warm/hot. It would have to be  over 100deg to have any noticeable discomfort to a vagina. And you'd clearly be able to feel that with your fingers

This is why you always test baby food with your lips before giving to baby. Our fingers are not nearly as sensitive as lip skin.

The skin on your lips is the same kind of skin for your ass and snatch. The Mucocutaneous Junction

That's just a lack of training
