"For days I only slightly wet my pants..."

Well let's face it. I'm not going to have children. I mean I can barely stand to have my period. I wish when I was being given my ovaries and such they asked me, "Would you like to have children and a menstrual cycle or no children and no menstrual cycle?" I would have definitely chosen the later. I'm just not mom material. Anyway, that's not what this post is about.

I think their are certain things that should be free here in America. My top three things are water, toilet paper, and tampons. We can talk about all three if you want, but right now I'm focused on the damn tampons. It's just wrong that I have to pay so much for a box of 40 every month. I didn't ask to have a fucking menstrual cycle. I got smart though and started buying them in bulk at Sam's club.

This last time I bought a package it came with a sample of Always pantiliners. I don't know about you, but when I'm sitting on the toilet I read just about anything. I have read countless shampoo and conditioner bottles, the sticker on the bottom of a candle, care instructions on washing my bathroom rugs, and anything else I can get my hands on. This last time I was reading the panty liner box. It said, "Ideal for: light flow days, a fresh clean feeling, tampon back up, and light urine loss." Wtf? How do they know how their panty liner is going to make me feel. If it doesn't make me feel fresh and clean what happens then? I have a lot of questions for these people. They have some answering to do here, damn it. I guess I can only use this product for days I'm only going to slightly wet my pants. Damn what a rip off. The panty liners and being a damn girl.
