Does it ever fall out if you run to catch an elevator, a train, a bus, for any reason?
And, what if you're on a rollercoaster, and sometimes they go upside down? If it fell out, would it fly up to your neck after it fell down to your ankles?
You can get toxic schock if you forget to take it out? Dang. Do you pull the string to take it out? Why a string and not a small, thin handle? What if the string breaks? Can you attach another string from an unused one, but then what do you do with the one with no string?
I guess you can go into a swimming pool with them, I seem to remember television commercials that said you could swim, play tennis, go bowling, horseback riding. But wouldn't high tide at the ocean definitely knock it out? Later tv commercials mentioned some of them having "wings"-- Wings? Maybe that was just a phase. What would wings do? Make it easier to remove?
Every month for a week? I guess men should be nicer to women.
I'm sorry, I just find it mysterious.
Ok- last thing- it does seem like the dozen responses or so maybe have stopped- but there's a contraceptive sponge, right? Wouldn't a box of appropriately shaped sponges on a coated string be a better and more economical solution, and you'd be able to wash the sponges in warm soapy water, let air dry like pantyhose, maybe even in the pantyhose, and then reuse the sponges every month?
I think a woman should perfect these ideas invented by men a century ago and make a mint making the lives of women easier every month.

It doesn't make anything strange. They're designed to move with you. It's not like shoving a stick up there. No one can ever tell that anyone else is wearing one and the way that whole area is built, there's really no way of it falling out either. Your body kind of contracts around it so that unless you give it a little pull, it isn't going anywhere. Strings are sturdy and flexible and don't get in the way too much or make themselves otherwise noticeable. I can't imagine having a handle! Pads have wings, not tampons, and the wings help to keep the pad from moving around too much. They're adhesive bits that stick to the underside of underwear in addition to the adhesive already on the length of the pad itself.
And that's enough talk about that from me this morning!
