That’s No Place for a Tampon

Dear tampons,

I truly appreciate you now, but there was a point in time where I could not figure you out.

My friends were using you, and it seemed like the product "grown-ups" used, oh, what a misconception. I pretended like it wasn't my first time using you, so there was nobody to teach me. Now it seems so straightforward. I assumed it wouldn't go up inside me because that's uncomfortable and why would you want more discomfort on your period. So I just tucked you neatly between my labia and hoped for the best. Fair to say you weren't designed like that and I soaked through my knickers much to my dismay.

I understand now and want to thank you for the times you have come in handy, We've been through a lot together.
