I was at public restroom I saw the 25 cent machine on the wall that was labeled "FEMININE NAPKINS" and "TAMPONS" I have no idea what they were, so I brought both of them to find out what they really were. I thought the pad was a very thick paper napkin shaped like a peanut was used to wipe off dirty hands after eating just like other paper napkins. I thought tampon was sort of weird thick Pixy Stix candy named Tampax cuz it makes sense... Pixy Stix almost rhymes with Tampax and both of them were a stick.
What's worse... I saved this unopened tampon in my jacket until I was hungry at the store. I opened and tried to eat it but I found out it's a weird cotton stucked in a cardboard toilet roll. My mom grabbed it and threw in garbage quickly and doesnt say anything!! Years later I realized what they were!!!
