I've given up on trying to use tampons for awhile.
I always find that I get cuts and scrapes from the applicators, but that the non-applicator ones don't go in at all.

*sigh*
So, I have (4) Tampax Pearl Super Ab.
and (10) Tampax Regular Ab (cardboard applicator)
and (9) or so Playtex Beyond Regular Ab
and (6) O.B Regular Ab (non-applicator)

that I can mail to anyone. I'd prefer to mail them all to the same person, so if you're in the market to test out tampons without actually BUYING them, I need to get them out of my cabinet. I might throw in a few other things I have lying around, like some White Tea bath soak stuff or something.

are you asking for a shipping fee for this? cause i'd love to have them if you haven't given them away already.

haven't given them away....

i don't mind spending a few bucks to get these things out of my cabinets, but i'm also poor as dirt, so if you're willing to give me a few bucks, i wouldn't turn it down.

but if not, that's ok too.
i tried to give them to a battered womens shelter and i got shot down--i thought with places like that they'd be happy to take whatever you were offering, but oh how i was wrong.

i'll hopefully get these things in the mail by next week. :)

Wow! I'd totally love the non-applicator types, if they're not already spoken for. :)

[-here-is-gone.livejournal.com]

I think everything has been spoken for....
if you're looking for a sample to test them out, i think ob offers a sample from their website

have you tried a menstrual cup? www.divacup.com you couldn't make me give mine up for anything! *unless of course you were going to give me enough money to live off of the rest of my life happy and comfortable AND pay all my current bills*

[-here-is-gone.livejournal.com]

eh, i have issues getting things IN me...so bah.

i ordered a sample of the instead, i don't want to waste more money on something that probably won't work...you know?

argh.

Have you considered donating them to a local women's shelter? I know that this time you've already given them away, but if you try again, you could probably just drop 'em off somewhere.

Oh, I noticed that you've ordered a free sample of Instead. Just remember that they are *nothing* like the other menstrual cups. If you can't do it that doesn’t mean that you won't be able to use the reusable kinds.

The easiest insertable menstrual item that I've found has been the menstrual sea sponges. You moisten the sponge and then squeeze it out so it's EXTREMELY malleable (think of any sponge you have in the house – when you wet it and squeeze the moisture out, it'll absorb but it is really easy to bend and squish and such). They can also be trimmed to whatever size you like (so if you order one and you try it and it's too big, you can make it smaller!)

i tried to donate them to a local battered women's shelter and they wouldn't take them, because they weren't unopened boxes.. they also wouldn't take hotel sized shampoo/conditioner/bar soaps... i ended up giving them to gnosticelf, but of course, he doesn't want tampons. ha.

[ourika.livejournal.com]

They wouldn't take the shampoo? I actualy can understand the open tampon fear, but small toiletries? How weird. My GS troop did a toiletries drive and got all sizes of bottles and such!

[-here-is-gone.livejournal.com]

yeah, i thought it was bizarre.
they even listed travel sized bottles in their list of approximately how of many of each they used daily/weekly/monthly/yearly...but i tried to drop off this huge bag of stuff (friends stayed in hotels for 3 months while their house was being built..and it was good stuff like neutrogena, the kind of stuff that the higher up hotels give out), but they refused everything. I was angry that I had lugged this heavy bag on the bus down there, only to be turned away. I handed out bars of soap to the homeless and such, but ugh.

[ourika.livejournal.com]

Weird. Normally, when I'm donating something somewhere, I call first. It could be that they'll only take things on certain days or that only certain people have any idea what to do with donations or who knows. I'm glad that you found a friend to take the items so that they didn't just get thrown in the garbage.

[-here-is-gone.livejournal.com]

i would never throw them away!! I just got sick of them taking up precious bathroom cabinet space...and i found a good deal on tp, so I bought this huge package..more than I'll ever need, and so now I must store it hah
