Hehe I have used tampons, they have a lot of cotton wool in them when you pull them apart! Good if you're stuck, but my DP, liberated as he is, would never think of that! In fact, while he is comfortable to go and buy them for me even when it is the one and only thing I need, I don't think I have ever heard him use the word tampon. I think from memory he calls them "feminine products" or something funny
