So I was going to the bathroom while my aunt was playing Skyrim and my parents were showering. I was nearly done when all of a sudden a random thought struck me. Tampons... why the fuck are they colored and designed?
I get that women are embarrassed sometimes about their period and that it's a "diplomatic privacy issue" but I 'm just saying. Now that they're colorful, all it makes me want to do is hold up my tampon (still in its wrapper of course) and say "look world! It's fucking prettyful!" Why would you color your tampon when it goes in your vagina and then in the garbage? What woman looks at them and thinks "I think I'll wear... purple today!" I mean really. I get that at the beach sometimes the little string decides to make its existance known to the world, and that if the string is colored, it will be a sort of nice (and absolutely hilarious) thing to look at... but..
Here's how I imagine the situation would play out on social media:
What's on your mind?
After hours and hours of deciding what to wear and what makeup to put on, I finally figured it out. It will be bright pink and neutral tones today. Because like a little feminine napkin told me: Have a happy period. Always.
Fuck yeah. See how awkward that is? It goes in your vagina. It goes in the garbage. No one has to know, if you're shy about it. The color stays on the applicator, the designs stay on the wrapper, and now Edward Cullen gets to soak up your bloody mess so you don't look like you've been massacred.
