Scenario 1: Your girlfriend is menstruating. And she asked you to buy some sanitary pads. What would you do?
Scenario 2: You have a daughter. She panicked because it's bleeding (first time) What would you advise her? (My late cousin thought that she would die when she got her first menses. No, she died of pancreatic cancer, not menstruation...)
Scenario 3: It's your sister's wedding reception. Your peri-menopausal suddenly 'bleed'. She couldn't ask your sister to help her because it's your sister's wedding reception. And she asked you to go to the nearest shop to buy new pants and some sanitary pads. Emergency. (That's a true story. The said person is yours truly...)
So what would you get for them? Luckily, I had my Gynaecology posting during my medical years. So I know what to ask? Spotting? Heavy? Days?
In scenario 3, I bought my mother sanitary pads for heavy flow because it's her first day, which is always heavy. It's funny. My sister was wondering what had happened? She was standing on the dais with my brother in law. Anxious. An emergency, but nothing to be alarm of.
I never seen tampon until matriculation. I was watching 'She's the man'. I've heard of it, but for a man to ask about feminine hygiene is a taboo. I just wonder how would one ram a piece of cotton into that area.
So today, I bought a box of tampon. Just because... Well to satisfy my curiosity.
A box of tampon. Super absorbency. Don't ask me why there's Korean script on the box.
How to wear. Apparently, there's applicator. And the plug itself could expand.
TSS. Blood is the perfect media for normal flora in the vagina. Bacteria produces toxins (I think it's exotoxin... that's why it's could go in the bloodstream... correct me if I'm wrong)
That's visual. Well pictures hold a thousands of words. And nobody is willing to make a show and tell video on applying tampon on YouTube.
There. Cute tampon wrapping. I could just assume that it's a pair of disposable chopsticks or straws from Starbucks. Which reminds me of Max putting tampons in the straw dispenser, which prompts Han to lower the tampon price. To date, I have never heard of vending machine selling sanitary pads or tampons here. I think we should have them. At least our women wouldn't have to carry tampons or sanitary pads in their handbags.
Looks like little sperm. No wonder women in this region are intimidated by tampons. Tampons are not popular here because it is believed to make one lose their virginity. I wouldn't mind if my girlfriend lose their virginity to tampons.
Tampons are small. Maybe Asian men are insecure of their penis sizes. And their thought that tampon could give pleasure to women just like dildo do. My bestie, whom I texted this afternoon told me that she prefer tampons over sanitary pads, because there's no leak and she couldn't feel it in there. The only downside is the price. A tampon (not a box) is more expensive than a can of soda. Might as well put a soda can in there.
Han Lee: that's a cotton mouse.
Now I get it why Han Lee refers menstruation as when women "chase the cotton mouse"
And I open the flower. This would make a great Christmas tree ornament. No?
Like I said tampons are not popular here.
