Applicators Rule

This post is going to be about tampons.  If that makes you uncomfortable here is your warning :) 

As we all know, hopefully, I am a woman and that means once a month I get a visit from Aunt Flow.  

At the grocery store, I grab a box of tampons not knowing there is a specific kind I should be looking for and remember thinking to myself, wow that is a tiny box to fit 32 tampons in, must be the discreet kind and chunk them in the shopping cart.  Once I get home I open the package and realize there are 4 small boxes put together, containing 8 tampons each, and at this point I'm still not thinking much of it.  

BTW at this point in time while I am making this discovery, Luke has so kindly run outside to grab what I think is a pair of my panties I dropped while bringing in the laundry... thankfully it was just a sports bra LOL

 Anyways, I open the box and see some cute, colorful, teeny tiny, tampons and think oh haha they look like fat little markers how cute! I proceed to take one out of the box and start to slightly panic... this doesn't look right... I twist off the wrapping and find cotton... just cotton, no applicator to be found. As any wife would do, I show it to my husband and ask how's this going to work LOL He looks at me like I'm crazy and says just put it up there !! I decide I can handle this, go into the bathroom, decide to give it a go, and well let's just say things don't go "smoothly".  I walk out of the bathroom and start crying (really overly dramatic, I know) thinking I have to endure 4 more months of this torture and wondering what in the world I am going to do.  Thankfully, Luke, knowing how I was going to react if things went wrong, had already gotten on google and informed me Australia does sell tampons with applicators, you just have to go to specific stores and look for them and that I was not the only girl asking these same questions :) Good times, good times !  Pictures for your entertainment haha
