Ahh, don't knock it, discovered last year on hol that if you want to light a fire on a beach at silly o'clock in the morning that a tampon soaked in high deet content mozzie stuff can't be beaten

I went to the school nurse and she gave me what can only be described as a single mattress with string on each end and 2 safety pins. I said "WTF am I supposed to do with that?" and I got detention for a week for swearing

Sorry

Me, being a thoughtful Mother, ordered several free samples of feminine hygiene products online for my eldest girl, several years ago when she was "that" age.

In return, she, unknown to me, ordered samples of Tena Lady, OAP vitamins, and anti wrinkle cream to be sent to me.

Is that called karma?

My mum used to send me to the shop for her "things" and it never bothered me. I refused to go for myself though. I thought everyone would just know

Its true though... they do. If you got to tesco... and you are in the 10 items of less checkout with tampons... you may as well have a sign over your head saying "I have bog roll in my knickers!"

I try to get Mr Ditty to buy me them... on the grounds that they are obviously NOT for him.

My mum used towels and when I started I used them too. After a few years I started using tampons. We were in the supermarket and I just slipped them in the trolley without my dad seeing. When we got to the checkout he was loading the stuff on the belt and picked them up. He kinda looked at them then threw them like they were toxic going "what the hell?" I was mortified My mum just gave him the look and he left the shop

I honestly thought I was being helpful.

Eventually, when we got down to the nitty gritty discussion when she was old enough not to be mortified...I enlightened her to MY experience as a teenager, where my Mother refused to acknowledge that my periods had started.

I had to make my own sanitary items from Mother's Pride bread bags, toilet tissue, and sticky tape. I kid you not, I rustled all the way along the 2 mile walk to school.

Aww I don't mean to laugh but that is funny....now Puts my single mattress and safety pins story right out the window

Sorry for laughing

The ones they gave you at the school office rustled.... and they had loops!!!! for some kind of mystical BELT thing!!!! (though we decided they were the handles to lug the things down the corridor to the loos!)

Ickle won't even walk down that aisle in Tesco's with me.... if she accidently does she sprints past that section!

Makes me feel glad to be a bloke

I now believe that a sign of maturity these days is nothing to do with not having skinned knees any more, but that boys can buy condoms and girls can buy tampons/towels, without a red face.

I'm screwed then. Unless having a full weeks shopping piled on top of them on the checkout belt counts?

Were they 4inches thick with safety pins?

My 2 girls are fascinated with all the girly things just now. Boobs, pubes, hairs on thier legs so they can shave, periods. They can't wait to get them all. Oh to be young again eh?

This is true although I am really childish and if I am buying them I try and go through a till with a young boy serving me. They scan it and fling it down the packing area

*Has a quick check*
just the usual male appendages

this thread is great i love the tampon ghost

My husband for some reason calls it a laydees 'special day'. (hes foreign). Once i sent him to little tesco to get me some in an emergency. He asked the woman where the laydees special day things were and she showed him to the birthday cards He had to explain and after she had eventually showed him where they were he had to queue up to pay for them while he could hear her tell the other cashiers in the office behind the til and they were all snorting laughing

No... no safety pins... that would have made sense... they had loops, apparently for some device they used in the dark ages called a (cringe) sanitary belt! Apparently it looked something like a suspender belt for a one legged person.

Oh, there must have been some very disappointed men!
