I use tampons (and an IUD, for that matter) and I've never had difficulty pooping. That's why this is so far beyond my realm of understanding. Am I doing it wrong? Are THEY doing it wrong?

I was lucky so I didn't get periods with my IUD so I haven't used them in awhile. I'm going to vote "some dude made that and doesn't get how the female body works" but likely it's just someone of any gender doesn't get it.

Emo - I tend to agree with you, but what's really confusing me is that the folks on my FB who are chatting it up, liking, amening, etc are ALL women. It's frustrating because since I am FB friends with my boss, I'm really careful about what I write/comment on on FB, so I can't even ask these people why they can't poop while wearing (using?) a tampon.
**sigh** I was hoping someone here would be all "OMG, that's so TRUE" and could explain it. Dagnabbit.

I think the concern is that since the muscles surrounding the tampon generally conract along with the muscles used while pooping the tampon will get pushed out while dropping their deuce.

Or something.
this was my guess. But it assumes 1. that is some giant problem (which I don't get. If your tampon came out that easily it needed to changed anyway) and 2. that these people are pushing their poo pretty hard in order to get the entire pelvic area involved (in which case, dude, fiber is your friend)

Emo - honestly, it's an issue because I'm lame. I don't really know any of these people well enough to be like "Hi, friend of someone I know, tell me about pooping with a tampon in." And it's something that's been driving me crazy for the last two days. again, because I'm lame/possibly kind of weird.
mesh - That makes a moderate amount of sense. I can see how that might be an issue for forceful pushers, perhaps? I guess it's the opposite of pooping on the table while pushing out a kid.

I asked my work BFF via messenger. I said "explain this to me" and linked the pic and she responded with "WTF" and I asked "HAVE I BEEN DOING IT WRONG" and she said she guesses we all have lol.

LOL, yeah. Which again...if you're pushing your poo like you'd push a kid - EAT SOME PRUNES! That shit ain't healthy. (pun intended)

Verdict here: People be crazy.
Ok. Thank you!!! I seriously feel better knowing that it is clearly not ME with the issues here.
No idea. Until I saw that you had friends that were loving it, I figured it was a "dood that has no idea how the female body works" kind of things.
Case in point... a "joke" from a male co-worker:
Male co-worker: Do you know why it's so hard for a woman to pee in the morning? Me: Male co-worker: Do you know why it's so hard for a woman to pee in the morning? Me: It's not that I didn't hear you... I don't get it. It's not difficult to pee in the morning. Unless you have a UTI. Male co-worker: (frustruated with me, turns to another male co-worker) Do you know why it's so hard for a woman to pee in the morning? 2nd male co-worker: (giggling) No, why? Original male co-worker: (barely able to contain his own pre-punchline laughter) Have you ever tried to peel apart a grilled cheese sandwich? Me:
For some reason, this guy thinks that he's god's gift to women. I've known the douche since kindergarten, so I'm somewhat accustomed to his antics, but the other women in the office were disgusted.
this is dude under the impression that our labia become glued together with something overnight? What kind of NASTY unwashed STD laden girls has he been with? I'm...just...ew. ew.ew.ew.ew.

Exactly. I've heard some pretty raunchy stuff come out of his mouth, but that was a new low... even for him.
Sadly, he's married.
Someone retaliated. I have an idea who it was, but they never outted themselves. Anyhoo... someone dumped a huge pile of pubes all over the idiot's keyboard. EWWWW.

I've pushed two kids out my hoo-hoo. After that, dislodging a tampon while pooping is pretty darn easy. I'm sad to say that I saw the OP and understood immediately.

Finally!! Someone who's like "OMG, so TRUE!"
Thank you. Not only am I not alone in being confused, but this is a legitimate thing. I feel MUCH better.
90% of all weekends are poop free whereas 90% of weekdays have perfectly scheduled poops. It's like my bowels have decided that they too only work M-W 9-5
