~Ladies only~ Please!

Personally, if on the rare occasion I don't have my own supplies handy, it seems that the doggone machine is out of tampons! I'm sorry, I don't want that 40 year old pad that's 2 miles thick!

The have the other type of vending machines at all the rest stops off of I 95.

Glow in the dark, candy flavored, you name it.

I remember being shocked the first time I saw those at the stops on I 95. In the ladies rooms! I thought they'd just be in the men's rooms. I guess it makes sense for the ladies to be able to get them, too.

Ok, TMI stop reading if you must, but we are all women right?

Ok, DD was 7 months old and I was at WDW about to have dinner at the castle. Older DD was being fussy and I as anoid when I hopped in the bathroom to find out, I was in need of one of *those* things, and I that I haven't needed for a year and half. (nursing mom.) The machine ate my quarters. (the ones I was carrying for DD pressed penny collection.) Then the machine in tmw land bathroom did the same. I complained to cast member (who had not teeth, I think WDW CM standards have gone down, I remember when they couldn't wear heavy makeup. ) Anyway she said "go to Town Hall and tell them." Can you just see that? Anyway a very kind women gave me the nessasary tools so to speak. When I told her it had been 1 year and half since my last one, she offered me another just in case.

Pretty funny story, but not one you get to share often.

THANK YOU!!

I've always been intriqued with the OB, but danged if I can figure out how to use it...... I know many women who swear by this product, but I've always been a Tampax girl myself.

Last time I had to use an OB (in some truck stop off I-75) my 3 year old had to accompany me to the restroom. After the deed was done...he looked at my finger and screamed "Mommy, What happened to your finger - did the potty bite it?!"

Ummmm...no more OB's...applicators for this gal thanks.

See Snoopy, we agree on almost EVERYTHING except politics....we both love gay men AND tampons WITH applicators!!!

At least it wasn't a pool ball.

I keep my own stash with me too. I wonder though, has anyone ever seen the OTHER kind of vending machines they have at some bars?

Yah, can't get into the idea of ribs at a truck stop.

Luckily I'm so regular that mine always comes on the correct day even within a few hours time span.

And, even more luckily, mine's light enough that if I ever get surprised, I don't even usually need to use a tampon, I can generally make it home in time to get my own. Sometimes I only use pantiliners!!! And it only lasts 2 days!

Maybe it's because men do the ordering and it is one item they can "budget" for they figure it is nonessential and a frill item. I mean guys have no use for them, except sticking them on their foreheads and stuffing them up their noses. Although tampons without the applicator do make good firestarters in an emergency.

On the same topic I was just at a wedding and the owner of the building did not have a pay machine machine for the above, instead she had a basket of unused, unwrapped pads. They were the nice thin ones, however there is no way I am using something that has been sitting in a basket unwrapped for who knows how long and how much has been spilled on it or dust collected on it.

Their is no way I am using something out of one of those other machine types either. Who knows how long it has been sitting in their and what it has been exposed to or what condition it might be in. The only thing I might do with one of those is make a water balloon.

Seen and used....

 

[2BigKIdz]

You mean the overy rough pads that could double as a crib mattress and the other things that look like a cork for a costco sized vat of wine?!?!

Just a side note, at Busch Gardens Williamsburg this summer, they had "feminine supplies" in baskets by the sinks for free (both kinds). Just don't see that every day. Edited to add after reading above post, these were all wrapped and in packages, not open.

First of all, I would have had the 3 year old turned to look in the other direction and trained not to look in my direction. TMI, but oh well........I feel in your situation, it would not have mattered what type of tampon you used, the child would have been a bit curious about what happened. Having a bloody 4 inch piece of cardboard in mommy's hand somehow does not seem more comforting to a child....or less discreet either.

Was in a public bathroom with my daughter and they had one of those machines in there. Never thought much of them before. Then my newly able to read 7 year old blurts out "Mommy, what's a love kit, I can get you one it's only 1.00" ....UM...um... "That's sweet baby but those machines never work, Hurry up baby we gotta get back on the road"

 

[GoofieRuthie]

I'll try to be as discreet as possible so not to get the thread deleted.....


When I was a teen with my long time BF. He had ran to the gas station to get one of those yanno......Well, he was fumbling around with it and then panic stricken asked, "WTH is this?????" It turned out to be a french tickler! He made a mad dash back to the gas station and made sure he had the right thing before he left this time. heh

 

[Christine]

Yeah, I really hate those OB things! NO applicator....gee thanks!

Hey, I LOVE OB. Our machine has the applicator ones. I hate them. Can we switch???

 

[pattyT]

Why, oh why, are those "vending machines" in the Ladies rooms always filled with products our GRANDMOTHERS used?!?!?! The "products" have been "updated" in the last couple of DECADES!!![/

I hate explaining to the little ones what some of those OTHER items are too!
