Love it! Adding some more things that I imagine are common experiences among women (and never among men):

  • Does anyone else keep a tampon in their bag just in case and then feel like every time you go to pull it out it has magically come out of its wrapper and has just been rolling around in the bottom of your bag? I lose so many good tampons that way.

  • The fact that no matter how many pads and tampons I buy, I feel like I'm always running out and have to go get more.

  • Leaving spare pads and tampons in places I am likely to find myself when I'm caught off guard by a period. Feels like an Easter egg hunt.

  • Keeping tampons and pads in my pre-set overnight/weekend travel toiletries bag only to have to constantly raid it because, again, I'm always caught off guard by how quickly my regular stash dwindles.

  • Laughing in the face of the threat of toxic shock syndrome because who has time or the wherewithal to change their tampon every 4 hours? Or even 8 hours?

  • Being confused why pads and tampons are not sold in much larger quantities other than rent collection for companies profiting off of women. Like mainstream shaving brands.

I relate to all of this.
