For some reason, (maybe a therapist could tell me) even though I have one every month of the calendar year, I am always caught by surprise and never have any on hand in the house. However, (and you can ask my husband because it grosses him out), I have at least 5 stashed in various places inside my vehicle at all times.
Today, I fixed that problem – at least for the next 2 months or so until I most likely forget all over again.
That’s right. There’s 80 tampons in that box. Sure, I felt weird having a tampon box take up half of my grocery cart but I also felt prepared… in a girl scout who has reached puberty kind of way.
Another thing I keep forgetting has nothing to do with tampons. It’s about the circus. If you live in Maryland, DC or Virginia and would like a chance to win 4 free tickets to the circus – click here!

I hear ya loud and clear – I think it’s a denial thing. My “stash” is one tampon in every zippered compartment of every old purse I have lying around my closet – some of them are even still in fully functioning wrappers!
Hey that’s not fair, we don’t have those wonderful giant boxes here!
I was just packing some things for vacation (yeah!) and I already had some packed. Being a Girl Scout and a Cub Scout Leader is handy information; but still it is always that one thing you didn’t think of that you will end up needing.
Oh my gosh, I do the same thing!
I had a pack in my husband’s car, in my car, at work, and at least ten packs at home. BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS CAUGHT UNAWARES. It never ceased to amaze me that I could be on time for a meeting that only happens once in a blue moon, but I couldn’t remember to pack products for something that happened every few weeks like clockwork.
Donald was understandably grateful when his determined little sperm met my egg and he could take certain un-masculine things out of his truck.
I, too, have recently started buying the 80pk. It does stink though when you think “Oh I have 80 I’m prepared..and a couple months go by and then you need one and box is empty except for the dividers!
Hah! I take Seasonale and use less than a box of tampons a year. Take that, ripoff artists at the feminine hygene companies!
Ah, well, I’m afraid this isn’t something I’m involved with.
With as many girls in the house as I have I buy 2 of those and spread them around to all the bathrooms. TMI from me?
Oh, girl, I have been buying the mongo boxes for years now! I couldn’t live with out them.
I’m cracking up at Jenn’s first comment. I’ve been THERE before too. HA! Don’t it suck being a girl sometimes? LOL…
Too funny. I switched to the ones without the applicator so that I could stash enough that I wouldn’t have to buy often… But without taking up cart or cabinet space.
I have that SAME box. Costco? Might as well stock up, along with a humongous bag of trail mix and 85 cans of soup.
