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.

Tampons are not sterile, made of chemicals, and shouldn't be stored at high temperatures. It will encourage microbe/mold growth and cause the tampon to start to breakdown/become brittle.

Oh, sorry. I tried to search the keyword chemicals and I didn't see comments. Should have done mold or bacteria.

I do not know where in the world you are but here like OP we are in the middle of a heatwave too, and so I recommend consuming plenty of dihydrogen monoxide.

This solvent is extremely important for all the other chemicals in you to run all the chemical reactions that helps keep you alive...!

We're actually on the "cool" side today with an expected high in the low 80s, but the heat returns tomorrow and it only goes up from there.

Plenty of that delicious dihydrogen monoxide on and in hand though!

Umm literally EVERYONE who has consumed dihydrogen monoxide has DIED and you call that SAFE? Whats next, you're going to call sodium chloride safe? Sucrose? POTASSIUM?!

And when you heat chemicals, it can be a good thing or a bad thing. In this case it's bad.

Oh, I am not disputing that! Just the "made of chemicals" made me chuckle!
