HELP: WebMD doesn't cover this...

I have a BIG PROBLEM.

My last two tampons are covered in Nyquil. See?




I mean, just a little bit of NyQuil...

It apparently leaked in my suitcase (which I still haven't unpacked from Orlando - for shame!) and spilled onto my last two tampons.

So... I just need to know if it's still safe to use them? Seriously... (kindove)

Because there is NOTHING worse than going to the store to buy just tampons. 

(Except that one time my ex came to visit me in Australia and he came down with a terrible case of diarrhea and implored me to go buy him Immodium and so I did and then my credit card was rejected. That may have been worse.)

I mean, I can handle buying tampons at Costco because there at least it's not like the cashier is sitting there thinking about how your bleeding out of your lady parts.

But a trip to the mini mart for tampons... I CAN'T DO IT.

If I can just make it through today with a little bit of NyQuil-laced coverage... (What's the worst that can happen???) I can make a detour to mom's to restock after work.

Thankfully, my mom hasn't yet come to the terms with the fact that she's going through menopause and still stocks her cupboards with tampons. So I just "shop" there when I must.

And then, tonight Joe and I can have a talk about progressing our relationship.

We already live together, have a dog together, and have a joint credit card. So, if we're not going to get engaged... I feel like the obvious next step is him buying me tampons. Right?

If he disagrees, I guess we'll be making a trip to Costco tonight!

  2. If I was desperate, I think I would use them. But I wonder if something in the Nyquil might irritate your lady parts? :/
    My husband has bought me tampons at costco before. That's where I get all of mine too. lol.

  4. Is it weird that I didn't know Costco sold tampons? Looks like I know what I'm picking up next time I'm there. :-)

    On an unrelated note I got an earful from my BF when I asked him to pick up razors the other day. Apparently since the package is PINK! he was convinced the other men in the store were secretly laughing at him. I told him it could be worse, I could have sent him for tampons.

  5. JUST go buy the damn tampons!!
    I have no shame in buying them, even if they are the only product I buy!
    I do get red in the face buying condoms-The last time was 2 years ago...and buying pregnancy tests every other day when I was going through that phase when I was TRYING to get pregnant, but still felt funny buying the tests.
    But tampons...hell, I even made Andrew buy those for me when I was in NZ and he bought me ones without applicators- UGH! I dont know how to use them!

  6. Let's stay on the safe side and discard those tampons. I wouldn't trust that the wrapper is fully intact and couldn't imagine that nyquil in your lady parts is a good idea!
    Just go to the store, pick the oldest lady register and get in and out. There's no shame in buying them!

  7. I say if Joe won't by them for you then he is stuck with a sleepy (yet decongested) vagina for 8 hours. His call.

  9. lol! I am so glad you found my blog...you are too funny! I serioulsy don't understand guys that won't buy tampons. Obviously they are not for them. Where is the embarrassment there?

    And I love Nyquil. It's amazing when your sick and feel like total crap.

    And you know what's worse than buying tampons? Buying pregnancy tests when you're still carrying a baby around. That happened to me this past summer and the cashier was all, "Oh, you don't think you're pregnant again, DO YOU?!"

    That was awkward. Especially since I was.

  10. I'm one of the good guys who will buy them for my wife.

    Wouldn't want her getting them secondhand off the street.
