well when i was a kid , i used to see my sister using sanitary tissues...she tried to hide them from me but as i was a curoius kid, i would try n peek into her cupboard.one day , not being able to hide my curiosity, i asked her what thay were for and she(not knowing what to say) told me that they were for feeding old people as they didnot have any teeths and could only suck liquid food...i kept this belief with me for a very long time untill i stumbled upon the truth...
