Why does that always happen??  The only time I ever buy tampons anymore is when it's an emergency and I have to run to the pharmacy and get a super-overpriced box of super-absorbent tampons. But somehow I always forget to carry some with me and end up never using the ones at home. Though when I am at home and need a regular or light tampon, all I have are the supers. Oh cruel world.

Case in point, today. I had the following conversation just now:

Me: Hi So-and-So, do you happen to have a tampon.

Her: No. Why don't you go down to the store.

Me: Oh, yeah I thought I'd ask you first. Also, I'm lazy, hahah.

Her: Then that's your problem.

You would think a fellow woman would be more sympathetic. She also said it so loudly that people in the next cubes heard and snickered. Why oh why are people so mean.

Tampon rant over.

Thanks for sympathizing with me, ladies!

Incidentally, the tampon machine at work is out of stock! Sad times.

@pamplemousse: LOL Oh no!  This always happens to me too.  That's so funny.

One girl at my work kept a box in her desk and anyone was always welcome to help themselves.  We don't have a tampon/pad dispenser at work.  

It was reaalllly convenient.

Haha this cracks me up because it is SOOO true. The problem with actually having your purse stocked with tampons is if you don't rotate them frequently enough, the wrapper falls off and static-clings to your wallet. This turns into an embarrassing situation when you're in line at a store and pull out your super cute wallet... with tampon wrapper attached. :) Stupid periods. I'd share a tampon with you!

@europomme: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That reminds of the first pad I ever used... my mom had an old stash from before she hit menopause I guess (she was about 53 or so when I got my first period).  Sooo embarrassing.  I was like, "Is this what I'm in for??"

You should come back from the pharmacy one day with THE CREAM THAT THE PHARMACIST SAID WAS BEST FOR SORTING CRABS OR GENEITAL THRUSH BUT YOU KNOW SHE WAS TOO EMBARASSED TO GO SO YOU GOT IT FOR HER... REALLY LOUDLY.... THRUSH. (or crabs, crabs is funnier ;))

Yep, I hate the tampee situation. Gosh, and when I carry them in my purse for a while., cause I just didn't clean out my purse... I need me a tamp and I grab one I stuck in there from like last month, I somehow make it to the bottom of my giant purse, and somehow the wrapper came open and there is make up on the tamp. Useless now. Eew. Idk how in the world. It sux.

I need one of those cutey tootie tampee holders I guess. I never got one cause isn't it just a glorified lipstick case? Now, I may do it..naa I won't. Tamp case..so lame. Maybe it would keep it from having the wrapper pop open though. I won't get one. I never used any lipstick cases I have ever bought..idk what make me think I will faithfully use a tamp case.

I was a pad person, in high school. Then I switched to tamps. They are just convenient..and less messy. I got a box of pads recently and whoa..did I wake up to a mess! And it was an overnighter. Maybe on lighter days I could use a pad but I feel like I am wearing a diaper or pillow. Lol, the TP pad..we've all been there, right? Tampons are kinda gross though..I don't like the feeling when I take it out. Ugh. but less messy. So, Idk. Periods are gross, period.

@tobin: HAHAHA i found the THRUSH in all caps hilarious.  i don't even know what that is, but it sounds terrible.

@baldor1: I think if i did that, she'd give me the evil eye for ages to come.

have you ladies ever used the compact tampons? they're so compact that they look like candy.

A friend of mine actually thought it was candy and opened the wrapper hoping to find some nougaty surprise. He wasn't too pleased. And I was down another tampon.
