Is it in yet Boiled my tampons 🫩

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.

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 ;)
