This guy doesn’t let his girlfriend use tampons because he wants to be ‘the only thing inside’ her

Yesterday a tweet about a guy who won’t let his girlfriend use tampons because he ‘wants to be the only thing inside her’ went viral, and everyone on the internet is extremely confused about what he thinks we’re doing when we’re in the bathroom — you know, other than soaking up menstrual blood and pretending we’re sick to avoid work.

This guy thinks we’re using tampons to get off

The girl who tweeted the conversation is a friend of the girl with the tampon-nervous boyfriend, and the screenshot is of a back-and-forth between the two of them, where her friend confides in her about how she ‘doesn’t get it’ but ‘respects it’.

And he isn’t the only guy who thinks that

But girls have other ideas for how we can deal with men policing our tampon use. Heck, even if we were going at it with one of them, that would hardly be their business. It’s not their fault that one-inch piece of cotton is more satisfactory. I always say, it’s not about the size, it’s about what they do with it.

Girls are having a great time dragging them

We should cut him some slack though. Apparently he isn’t the only guy on the worldwide-web who is extremely confused about what we’re doing in that stall. We promise, we’re having a very messy, way less fun time than you think.

Apparently tampons are way more fun than we thought

But if they ever do make mozzarella stick tampons, or party-popper tampons, please do let us know.

If tampons aren’t going to be free, we better better at least be getting the best bang for our buck.
