#12 you genius, you do realise tampons come in wrappers right?

Even if it wasn't in a wrapper, they have plastic or cardboard applicators on them.

That's still disgusting because the applicator goes inside you, meaning the bacteria still gets in and then when you remove the applicator it will also get on the tampon.

Why would you still put the applicator inside after it was on the ground? I'm saying the tampon itself is still covered. Surely you could find a way to put it in without an applicator.

That would be a very difficult thing to do

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't eat a packet of sweets (even when completely sealed/airtight) that I just found on the bathroom floor - let alone put stuff into my privates that I found off the floor, regardless of whether its wrapped up or not.

Some brands don't have an applicator at all with the tampon, you just use your fingers to shove it in place up there.

88, Lol ugh! Lol why would any tampon-making company make a tampon that DOESN'T have an applicator attached with it? What girl would buy a tampon that would need her to use her own fingers to shove it in and then get blood to seep into her nails, then drip all over her fingers, down her hand and arm during the process? Makes no sense. If there is a company like that I don't know how they make money lol

Uh. There are companies who make tampons that don't use applicators. I hate using applicators, it's way easier to get it in the right place with a finger. And I have NEVER had blood under my nails or any more than a tiny smudge easily wiped off with toilet paper. Seriously?

...what the hell kind of period are you having that you think it works like that???

118 and 148. I see How and why you guys (and 19 other people) down voted my previous common. I guess I didn't check up on the previous comment above mine. I have extremely heavy flow like each week that I have my period. So for me, there would be a lot of blood. Maybe not under my nails (I might have overexaggerated this description) but I would have blood dripping down my hand and arm. I guess I'm the only girl with a heavy flow. I guess I should have said that it probably only catered to me in that comment. I'm sorry. I know that that is probably too personal. But for me, applicators would probably be the best choice for me. I also apologize for being a bit dumb to not understand that there are other women who have much lighter periods that allow them to use non applicator tampons. But yea. I was in the wrong to put you (the previous commenter) down without checking up on that. And again my apoligies.

And by previous commenter (I mistakenly forgot to mention you) I'm also referring to #88 since she was the one who first informed me

That jokes older than the bible. It's also pretty tasteless.

The classics never die. And that's the point of the joke.

But this is a joke that really does need to die, mainly because it was never funny to begin with.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess homosexual... No strait man who ever wants to get laid says that....

I guess your gay then?

Guys stop thumbing him down! He's cute. :(

@dragonfirefairy - I'll trust you.... Wait... Are those fangs? Gahhh!!! Ahhhggghhh! Gurgle.....

Being cute doesn't make the joke funny...besides, chest pics aren't cute, just narcissistic.

112 My profile pic was supposed to be douchy, that's what makes it funny. How about people get back to commenting on the actual FML instead of nit picking everyone on here.

then why are you still talking about it ?

I don't think it rolled into her stall, though. The FML said she reached under into OP's stall to get it. Which makes it even more weird.

Unfortunate.

It was a bloody nightmare. More of this penetrating story at 11:00pm

I'm assuming it was still in the wrapper.

Tampons DO come in these magical things called wrappers.

Even if the wrapper was already off, she really only had a few options: 1) use it anyway and risk infection, 2) try using toilet paper in place of a pad/tampon (which, by the way, is useless most of the time), or 3) bleed through her pants.

Actually, toilet paper in place of a pad works fine as long as you change it when necessary and you don't have a really heavy flow...I was forced to do it a couple of weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked!
