To be fair though, there could be many reasons why she was unfortunately wearing a pad to the gym. She could have had surgery which prevented her from using a tampoon, or, she may be one of the growing number of women who worry about the potentially carcinogenic effect of the dyes used in producing tampoons. Maybe, like a friend of mine, her flow is sooooo heavy that she has to wear both tampon and pad.
Also, hasn't it ever happened to you that it strikes without warning when you're somewhere, in the car, or at the schmall and you have to ask a friend if they have supplies on them... they say sure... and pull out one of THOSE!
Btw, has anyone ever tried using those sponges? They're supposed to be environmentally friendly and a lot healthier to use.
