Things that made me unable to use tampons before I started HRT:
dysphoriavaginismusThe emotional knowledge of this post traveling backwards through time to clamp my vagina shut, a la Childhood’s End.
Centipedes, in my vagina? No, something far worse: carpet beetle hairs.
What’s a roach bin?!
This keeps getting worse!
Roach bin
Dermestid beetle
Pap smearThe further you read, the worse it gets.
Thank God my English is not enough to understand these.
Mine either. But I did the mistake of websearching them:
- roach bin - apparently some people breed cockroaches as pets, or to feed their actual pets with.
- dermestid beetle aka carpet beetle - they’re so notorious for feasting on dead bodies that forensics uses their presence/development to estimate date of death.
- pap smear - cells collected from the cervix, used to check for cancer.
Thanks, now it got worse for me too. -_-
Not a great day for having eyes.
Individual tampons don’t come sealed?
They are individually wrapped in plastic, pads as well. Maybe it’s not every brand? I know panty liners are not wrapped individually but I don’t know how a spike on one could travel so far up.
This is some real cursed shit holy wow
Will not be sharing this with my wife
Who use dermestid beetles as clean up crew? The usual beetle for that matter is Alphitobius diaperinus (or any tenebrionid), maybe dermestid beetles don’t eat oothecas?
I have several tenebrionids, A. diaperinus are in my dubia roach bin because those roaches keep the ootheca inside, but I can’t put any tenebrionid with my red runners because they lay the ootheca and the larvae could eat that.
