When i was little (about 7-8) I saw a lady get a tampon out of the tampon dispencer in the womands restroom. She put it in her purse and walked away.
A few minutes later I asked my mom for 25 cents so i could buy a lollipop. She was floored when i came back with a tampon in my hand asking for her to help me get the lolipop out of the applicator.
