When the tampon is out, wrap it in toilet paper and throw it in the trash—never flush it. Plumbers everywhere are begging you. Seriously, flushable wipes are liars, and tampons are the same. They’ll clog your pipes and create a “fatberg” that terrorizes cities.
Now, look in the mirror and give yourself a high-five. You successfully removed a foreign object from your body. That’s basically superhero-level stuff. If you’re starting a new tampon, fresh string, fresh start. If you’re done for the day, change into clean underwear and treat yourself to a cookie.
One last thing: never wear a tampon for more than 8 hours to avoid Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Set a timer on your phone. Make it a fun reminder, like “Hey, you sexy responsible human, change your tampon!”
