when i was in first grade i saw a dispencer for napkins and tampons in a bathroom at an amusement park. i was really confused so i asked the sixteen year old girl next to me if tampons
were napkins in a different language. then my friends mom explained the whole thing to me, and she explained to me what condoms are while she was at it.
