I would assume they're just confiscating tampons women are carrying, not ones that are already inserted. At least I HOPE so. (On some level, I also kind of hope this backfires and women decide to throw those used tampons instead, solely because of this idiocy.)

Or we could just not throw tampons.


Yes, I imagine that's what would have happened if the Senate hadn't decided to confiscate tampons. I don't think the idea of "I know! Let's fling tampons at people!" would have been terribly likely to occur to anyone. Now that it has, though, there's an element of "might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb." If women are going to be treated as vicious potential tampon-flingers anyway, they might as well enjoy it. :p

That costs money, something I don't currently have. I'm trying to join the army which will get me out of state but I need to take care of some medical issues, which also costs money.
So I'm in a bit of a bind right now.

I guess you can still bring condoms, right? Throw them. Extra small, for added insult.

Exactly. I mean, seriously, I'm not rich enough to have boxes of sanitary products in my house. If I wanted to throw something, I'd throw either condoms (you could get them in a bulk package of 150 on Amazon for $15 apparently, that's pretty cheap) or toilet paper. *nod*

(Okay, so we have packages of pads -- my mother refuses to buy tampons, she thinks they're too fancy or something when I asked -- from Costco sitting around. Shaddup, those are like over two years old. :P )
