I just remember as a kid back in the 1970s that my mother (who was totally about the pad; you're welcome.) had boxes of these ginormous pads in her closet. I mean, each one literally looked like one of those travel-size boxes of facial tissue. I used to imagine that, on those really heavy flow days, that the pad wearer would feel a glurb of fluid sloshing around the nether regions every time she sat down. It was probably not unlike wearing a wet diaper. And being the inquisitive imp that I was, I used to conduct experiments with them- how much fluid one of these things could hold without leaking. I only recall that it wasn't as much as I had assumed.

Okay, now for all you tampon wearers... once it's in, are you constantly reminded that something is jammed up there, or do you not notice it? If so, do you ever forget to take it out? Has the string ever accidentally broken off? Have you ever lost track of the calendar or forgotten to take pre-emptive measures? Do you cringe every time you hear U2's "Sunday, Bloody Sunday?"
