Now if they brought in a paycheck on a bi-weekly cycle like I do I would accept that with no problem. Hell I'd even open a bank account "Em's Pooper" for it to be deposited into.
I was at work once and one of the managers made a joke (this was back when i was young and a waitress) that a gay guy at the bar needed a tampon. Yes, poor taste but supposedly he thought that anal sex can make things loose and poo falls out. Therefore tampon. True? I dont think so. But maybe this joke is in that category?
I used to not realize it, but it doesn't bother me. I know that come Monday morning my poop will be back. I think it comes from growing up showing horses, you DO NOT want to poop in a porta potty on a July afternoon after 500 other people have occupied the same porta potty. I would pee in the horse trailer or in the stall if we were staying over night.
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.
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.
I'd go directly to HR with that gem. Can we say 'hostile work environment'?
I know this thread has gone an entirely different direction at this point, but the angle of each woman is different and some press on the rectum more than others. I have had tampons shift after pooping, especially if I'm using a less than optimal brand for me (some just fit better than others).
