Boys may play with them. Which is probably for the best actually. Removing stigma from basic hygiene products can only be a positive thing.

It’s not the point of them being there but a nice side effect.

Why do people act weird when you get tampons for your girlfriend?

I think it’s a US thing. I’ve often bought tampons and of course nobody cares.

This just made me realize that I’ve never bought pads for my wife. I wouldn’t have any issue doing it, and I’m guessing she knows that, but she’s never asked me to.

Nah its not just the US. I’ve run into similar in Ireland. I went into the supermarket to pick up pads and a tub of ice cream. Passed them to the young fella behind the counter who then leans over and whispers “do you need me to put them in a paper bag for ye?”

Heck, I once had to go get my mom AND my grandma tampons, and since there was a promotion I got like 3 of the granny ones, no one cared and I only remember because I was like a teenager and thought everyone would care, but no one did!

Yeah, like 99% in the boys room would be used for random shit.

Actually, one of the gals at work made a spooky ghost with a tamp from the dispenser and it’s been hanging on a desk since last halloween.

My old roommate dipped tampons in black cherry kool-aid, answer the door and look the person in the eyes while putting it in his mouth.

Good times.

It’s a bit wasteful though.

Kids will waste anything they get their hands on, but they’ll learn a bit as well

I forsee some being wasted at the beginning and then them eventually becoming the backup supply when the girls restroom runs out.

That is provided you don’t have some loser administrator just never refilling the boys room because of the waste.

Free tampons usually suck, so most people prefer to buy their own but are glad they are there in an emergency.

Work for nose bleeds if small enough, and they were originally made for bullet wounds, and everyone knows the schools are where these nuts like to start their rebellions. I assume they just think they need to level up like in a video game. Fn assholes

Oh yes my sister loved it when my older brother stuck pads on her vanity mirror.

Stigma gone!
