~The Great Tampon Debate~

*BE WARNED* If you are a man or have absolutely no sense of humor? *STOP NOW*
So there I was.. standing the shoppette (mini-store on post) with a dumb lost loo
*BE WARNED* If you are a man or have absolutely no sense of humor? *STOP NOW*

So there I was.. standing the shoppette (mini-store on post) with a dumb lost look. Men walked past me grinning, and I didn't care. I held something in my hand that floored even me the Queen of budgeting.

Generic Tampons...(see me shaking head)

Now I have used generic toothpaste, soups, even cereal in poor moments. But there are a few things in this life you just don't cheat on.
Cheese.. Good cheese don't come cheap..
Toilet Paper.. your hand going through the paper just one time? Will teach you this valuable lesson..
Hamburger Meat.. what? You didn't know such a thing existed? Check the prices baby.. Try the pricier and bet you will never buy Walmart's 8 pound roll again..
Paper Plates.. sigh can't tell you how many nice blouses I have ruined at bbq's..
BREAD.. Eddie Murphy coined the phrase the welfare burger.. Bread is a big thing to me.. I love it, if it ain't at least wonder? It isn't crossing these lips..

But Generic Tampons? Now I stood there for what was only maybe five minutes. But I had alot of thoughts. Mostly omg omg Wait til I tell the Wenches, and Haven.
A man had to come up with this right? Can you imagine? What makes it generic? Cheaper cotton? Am I gonna pull the string and instead of it coming out? Blow up? Or even worse still be there?

  Not that we don't already have choices galore out there. We got more flavors than Baskin Robbins,
scented, plastic tip, plastic tip that flushes, Recycled Tampon applicators ( which omg *AGAIN A MAN* did this) Pearl aww aren't they pretty now. Oh and the ones without the applicators. EWWW.. Ya that is what I said when I first learned about them..Oh and little ones now that you can fit in the tiniest purse or pockets (seen some of these girl's lately? They equal to about the same size .. ha)
And the old fashioned one. Regular cotten, regular Applicator.  I like that word say it with me folks .. APPLICATOR..We are being tortured.

Hence the dumb look in the store. Bra's weren't bad enough? Let's stab them with a Cotton torture device.. Every man's dream..

So I didn't buy the generic brand.. I got the pearl.. Nothing but the best for my Elvis.. Yep you are probably staring at the screen with a silly look now and head cocked to side going Elvis? You know "love me tender" ha ha ha..(Evil side came out)
Men think they have the market cornered on strange names too. If they only knew...

I will leave a few for you to ponder..
Furby..
Cookiebox..
Woo
Sally
and don't forget Elvis.. You all have a good one..

And guys? Never buy the cheap one's..Very True story that happened last night.. And if your offended? Oh please get over it.. Take Care, and be safe all , Cat

    I never used Tampons and your poem just made me remember why. Yes, surely made by a man or maybe even Sigmund Freud within his psychotic transference of his own neurosis onto his patients.

    Amen, sister!! You go on with this rant- Tampons were made by men- period!! Pun intended Technically- it was a 'man' who gave us the damned monthly thingy anyway. Sure, the bible blames it on Eve- even makes it a punishment, curse!! If you believe the stories (they are all written from a man's point of view) then God was a male entity- i rest my case
    Who else would come up such a pain in the ole Sally?!? Generic- no scent, no coloring. They don't even feel the same- (my stepmom had them a few years ago).

    Had to come back to read responses

    Isn't there an old "It figures" that goes....when you walk into a store to get tampons, there's always a woman behind the counter...but when you go to the same counter to pay for them, there's some young guy there instead.

    Oh holy wow. I think I may have just peed myself.

    Yes, so, let's talk about these generic tampons. Let's talk about how you waste half of them because they don't release from their applicators gracefully and once you loosen them, they're already ruined. Let's talk about the cheap paper wrappers that don't survive a day in the purse. Let's talk about how they don't absorb anything because, when they expand, it's always in the wrong direction. Let's talk about how the cotton bunches and ruins every septic tank made.

    Or let's not, and just buy the good ones.
    Cat's right. Men: if you buy us cheap ones, we'll serve you generic mac and cheese and store-brand chicken dogs every night for a week.

    Much respect,

    Uff Dah & what a hoot dis is eh! Seriously, I thought this might be sexist but it isn't at all. Why men would try to make a tampon is about as dumb as it gets. One of my pet peeves is that people make things but never use them themselves to see if it is actually good or not. They live life like a theory. "Well, if I had a pussy, this is what I would do!" How STUpid is that? So I got a kick out of this and that's why the applause. Thanks for the laughs (and making some good points). ET

    You don't have to worry about me buying the cheap ones or the expensive ones (though I have been persuaded on rare occasions). My wife, every now and then, will ask me to pick up a box for her. I know she just does that to see my response, which is always "get your own." She wants to know if I'm scared to get caught in a price check. No, I say. Commercials have given men many outs these days. I'll just say "I'm taking the boat out and I want the hole pluggers I saw on tv." I just don't want to buy them. Oh...add to your list of alternate names...Mary Jane. I've heard her use that one.

    great debate.

    YOU MAY WELL ALL LAUGH, BUT CHECK OUT THIS E-MAIL I RECEIVED RECENTLY...
    “..Women, this is about tampons, read if concerned, and you should be, but more importantly, send on
    to any female. For the men, please forward to your friends, significant others, sisters, mothers, daughters.
    It seems now that certain manufacturers are including asbestos in tampons. Why would they do this?
    Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more…
    So why is this not against the law? since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that be in all
    their wisdom, do not consider tampons to be ‘ingested’ and therefore not illegal or dangerous.
    Tampons also contain Rayon – for absorbency – and dioxin, a bleaching agent – apparently we prefer
    white products as they appear pure and clean. Dioxin is potentially carcinogenic and is toxic to the immune and reproductive systems. It has also been linked to endometriosis and lower sperm count for men. In both sexes it breaks down the immune system – it is cumulative and slow to disintegrate, but
    there is no ‘acceptable level’ by law. This is one of the reasons why toxic shock syndrome occurs. The dioxin reacts with the rayon when fibres get left behind in the vagina, causing a breeding ground for the dioxin. Still with me?
    Unfortunately, 100% unbleached tampons which are rayon and dioxin free are made by very few companies world-wide. They are generally only available in health stores. Countries such as Sweden, Germany, British Colombia etc. have demanded a switch to safer tampons. But the USA and England are keeping us in the dark. Campaigns and 50,000 letters of protest have at least managed to get companies in England to switch to oxygen bleaching.
    We are being manipulated by this industry. Do something about it. Write to Tampax, Playtex, OB, Kotex etc. and demand unbleached tampons. How scary is this?..”
    SO, GENERIC OR NOT, THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER.

    Ahhhhhhh.....This is so funny, and so hilariously true, not only do they make generic EVERYTHING but they make generic things that I never thought could get any more generic! I have a good generic story (I'm in college, I live on generic) one time I bought a box of generic mashed potatoes (the instant kind). When I went to make them two weeks later, I poured them in to the water and.....nothing...no potatoes! It was just like, flakes floating in water, they never turned into potatoes! Fittingly I threw the pan full of flakey water into the sink, and went to McDonalds (my other life support). But I never again bought generic instant potatoes!....sorry for the straying...sometimes I ramble on...anyway good write! I loved it.

    Maybe they're really thin like 'value toilet roll' (we call it 'Tesco value' in the UK) and you have to change them every 20 minutes or so.

    And by the way, rowbyrow, Tesco value do 'Vodka' and 'Gin' - plastic bottles with a plain white label with just that word on them. Put in punch by cheap bosses at the office party, and drunk by tramps ONLY.

    OMG....not only was I in hysterics from your writing...but from all the comments too! Yes, my boyfriend (Icemancm) does have a poem about the Pearls...and I have actually sent him to the store (surprise, surprise, he did not bitch about it like above haha)...AND he actually knows what brand, size and etc to buy! (Tampax Pearl for me, I won't have anything less - ewwww to the non-applicator ones...hell, I'll splurge for comfort dammit! Hence the Pearl poem he posted.) On a side note, I STILL have one of the packages of pads I had my stepmother buy for me after my son was born, he's 3 now. I hate pads, I won't dare use them unless I'm desperate! Feels too much like a diaper! Damn hon, I gotta feature this! You're too funny..... I absolutely LOVE it!

    He said I don't use them and won't ever need to so why should I go to the store to buy them....yada yada!!
    I wondered if he had a price check encounter one time while shopping for my mom....hehe
    But now the companies make JUMBO sizes so we could stock up for years to come...Wow what a benefit eh ...Just pick up a case from Costco and away we go...Plugged for life

    Good thing I do not use tampons... lmfao, Cat. You are too much! I have to agree, though, there are certain things that you can't afford to sell yourself short on--such as cheese and bread! (I know this because I live in a dormitory)

    Goodness, this is so hilarious... and I thought I'd had enough of the giggles today, but I guess it must be time for them to attack me, since I am always down. I swear that if I don't get away from here soon, I will die of laughter! Oh, and by the way--no generic medicines, either

    Speaking of pads, tampons and other womanish "sanitary needs": I remember having bled once for five entire weeks, and I sent my cousin (a male, oh dear) to the store to buy me some more pads. Instead of getting my trusted brand Stayfree, you know what he brought back? Some generic Depends! (dammit, I said I'm on my period, I'm not having bladder problems!) The moral of this story? Never send a man to purchase a woman's product!

    Many blessings,

    Pearls of Wisdom!

    Okay, I'm a man, but the title definitely intrigued me. Why? I'll tell you why. Because after having been married once, and thus being the designated pantyliner/tampon/pad getter when the wife was laying down with whatever (read: PMS), I was befuddled with all the damn choices. I mean, first there were peanut butter - creamy, crunchy, extra creamy, extra crunchy, peanut butter with jam in it, etc., etc.... not to mention potato chips!! Holy Jeez... but anyway. Back to the topic at hand. I shuddered every time my ex would ask me to buy them.... I mean, NO guy should BUY these things, because we usually get the WRONG kind ANYWAY! And we're always trying to buy them on the sly, but wouldn't you know it...? It's always the package WITHOUT a damn price sticker on it, so what happens...? Yep... the damn clerk goes over the P.A. and asks for a freakin' price check on the damn tampons when there's 5 or 6 people BEHIND you in the friggin' line! But enough of MY rant... hehe. Great write! Oh yeah - I do have a poem about Pearl Tampons... believe it or not! LMAO...

    Hey now, I have used the applicator free ones. I was young, tiny and the applicators hurt to use but I so was tired of wearing a pad. I now dread any moment in life that I can't use a tampon. There are grosser alteratives, like the cup. Ever heard of it? It looks like a tiny rubber wine glass that you reuse, for those people that hate waste. Can you imagine using THAT in a resturant? You would have to take it out, empty it, clean it out and reinsert it... I think I will pass.
    Of course a few hundred years ago woman didn't use ANYTHING, they just let it flow...
    ok, enough of my gross facts... funny rant! It's being a woman grand!

They had to get waxed and wear heels and nylons, get manicures and wear makeup....etc. BUT...I bet none of them had to wear PADS...of course they couldn't wear tampoons...but they could have at least worn a pad...to get a feel for it, since they didn't have to deal with the PMS!! The show was funny...and some of the guys looked hot. Cute poem.

    I think I follow what you mean by "generic" here, but only just. Like supermarket's own brands, or, as they're sometimes known, cheap shite.

    Just a quick on-topic plug:

    Well, I like it. And I never did like tampons much.

    A+++

    What a funny write. I just got more insight to women. My goodness, I can't believe you actually wrote this, but I'm glad you did. You have a great sense of humor, and lucky enough, I do as well. I really enjoyed really this as I laughed my head off (you may ask which one, well, that's for me to know). Anyway, this is an excellent write, the funniest story that I've read in a long time.

    info-mericial lol great debate

    hahahah i have no clue what you're talking about but... grrrrr generic makes me mad.... yesssss real mad... mad enough to kill kill kill...

    but just curious why you warning guys to read no further... if anything inform us!!! we errr don't have that kind of issue to deal with... so the more too much info the less stunned i am when a girlfriend or friend gets me grumpy for no particular reason

    i shocked one of my best buddies when she asked me out of desperation for an aspirine and i didn't ask a thing besides reach into my backpack and hand her a couple and go is this strong enough??

    the way you looked out for little elvis, you're as bad as a guy almost naming your genitils like that lol j/j elvis is sorta cute, tender lovin' opposed to one eye'd snake or lil'soldier standing to attention creepy weird culture we live in eh

    but to your internal debate.. it's quite amusing the way you compared it to good cheese, meat and bread... lol pearl and scented recycled... weird indeed

    and i thought bra was bad enough when my buddies have explained the two dreaded words... under-wire and why you must hold on to them when running... there's worse??? a few drinks later owwww i'm not even going to ask how painful that could be... time for another drink

    nowonder girls are grumpy sometimes... i at least know my place to treat the people around me special and make 'em giggle even when they don't seem to want to break a smile

    hehehe learn something every day... don't trust anything that bleeds and lives??? don't trust anything that is dumb enough to poke something that is in pain... aka a guy going hunny it ain't that bad... now why'd ya go and stomp on my foot and walk out like that lol

    cheers

    OMG Lady Unique! Your comment reminds me of an incident involving my teenage daughter at a dinner party in a fancy Italian Reastaurant with about 28 other family members and friends while celebrating my mom's then 60th birthday. My mother blew out the candles just as my daughter let out a loud scream... sending everyone into a panic.

    Cat,

    Thanks for clearing things up for the men in the crowd True, I've never bought a tampon in my life, but if I do, I going premium!!! Nothing but the best for my darling's Elvis (of course, first, I'll have to find myself a 'darling'...after that, finding her Elvis shouldn't be much of a problem, I hope!).

    Girl... you have plumb lost your mind! This is so freakin' hilarious! I love the ending. It reminded me of one of those side splitting discussions we had in the wenches group about our pet names and the pet names others have labelled their place at the "Y"... You are too much sister girl!

    Funny and true! But don't you know? Tampons are the devil's fingers! If you use them, you're no longer a virgin! (How many people's mother/female relatives told them this?)

    i so agree about generic!! never, no way, not this girl
    i'm a "beyond" brand person all the way! i had to get a part-time job to afford tampons tho the cost... that so ain't right!!
    pads have their purpose too. don't ever put a new one on in the ladies room at a fancy dinner after a few drinks. the contraption can double back on you which you don't realize until you sit and feel every hair being pulled out. don't scream tho cause it will attract the attention of the other eight people at your table!!
    have a nice day!
