<p>I have it on good authority that the tampax bandit is my Aunt Flo! :)</p>
<p>maysixxmom,</p>
<p>Your nasty images of our dog and tampax are most probably right on target.</p>
<p>My friend’s little brother used to call them “firecrackers”.</p>
<p>Then there is the old grocery store story–
A women asked a teenage stock clerk where she could find the Tampax. He misunderstood, and says, “which kind do you want, the ones you put in with a finger, or the ones that need a hammer?”</p>
<p>(thought she said ‘thumbtacks’)</p>
<p>that’s awful LOL</p>
<p>I use the ob kind ( without applicator) and my toddler daughter thought that ( unused) ones were just the thing, so she slipped her wrists through & they were jewelry.</p>
<p>My nephew ( his mom used pads) thought that they were great protection to tie around his knees when digging in the dirt.</p>
<p>My nephew went through almost an entire box of pads before he got two to stick–then proudly announced “Look, mommy, flip flops!”</p>
<p>Funny how no men have ventured into this thread to take over the storytelling!</p>
<p>“I’ve seen several intimate, embarrassing things that had been swiped out of the garbage by a dog.”</p>
<p>A tiny kitten in my case. Oh, lord.</p>
<p>(The kitten was doing the swiping, I mean – a dog didn’t drag him out of the garbage!)</p>
<p>“apparently someone - presumably male - thought using tampons would bring some sort of pleasure to the user - not my personal experience but whatever :rolleyes:”</p>
<p>A guy asked me this once! Also about gyn exams. Can you say clueless?!</p>
<p>We had dogs take discarded diapers out of the trash, when you try to wash down the sidewalk, all those little absorbent beads just sit on the sidewalk and grow and grow and grown ;)</p>
<p>today’s police report of yesterday’s crimes:</p>

<p>This thread is just the therapy I need after my endless loop these past two weeks on the political thread . . .</p>
<p>Send the Tampax bandit my way. I bought the bargain box at Sams almost a year & a half ago. Apparently, my body took offense to my cheapness & it decided to simply not need them anymore. Hey, that’s a “waste” of money I didn’t mind!</p>
<p>Just for you Kelsmom</p>

<p>cartera, that is the best!!! I think I may make one for my gyn’s office.</p>
<p>I have to send that link to my daughter. She will die. Who knew there were tampon crafts? Not me for sure. The angel is kinda cute. The ghost is funny. The heart earrings - just gross.</p>
<p>I vote for the turkey! What a splendid centerpiece for the big family get-together! Mothers-in-law beware the evil daughter-in-law’s dinner invitation this year.</p>
<p>Permit me…this is the absolute strangest thread I’ve ever seen on CC! It doesn’t lose its appeal, it keeps getting better!</p>
<p>cartera, that is priceless.</p>
