I had always known about periods (older sister), but I wasn't too familiar with a tampon.
One day, me and my friend Brett were hanging out in my friend's room. We found a box of tampons, and without really reading to see what they even were, we thought it'd be a fun little idea to take a few out, and play with them a little. So, still without knowing what the heck a tampon was, i took two and taped them to Brett's ears as EARRINGS! He wore them into the living room, where our friend's mom was having a party!!!! We were so embarrassed when we really found out what they were. LOL!
