Would your partner know the avg amount of tampons used during a period?

I don’t even know

@Dory that was my first thought too! Lol plus all cycles vary so wildly that the "average" doesn't mean shit 😅

Absolutely not lol I’ve never used tampons so I don’t even know how many I’d use. I’m really tempted to ask him how many pads he thinks I go through. Obviously diva cup is just one 😂

No. Nor, do I expect him to! 😂

@Tessa I change pads more frequently than tampons but tampons should be changed at minimum 3x a day (a lot of people forget about them… “lose” them… have light flows and feel like they don’t need to change them as frequently but it’s advised not to have them in for more than 8hrs at a time)

@Claudette ❤️ that’s interesting Why wouldn’t you expect him to?

@Asha why should I?🤣

He might have a general idea because he knows about how often I buy them but probably not specifically

@Claudette ❤️ idk what’s so funny I expect the people that want to have sex with me to be well informed with how my body works lol someone asked earlier about icks and red flags and a big red flag and ick is a man that doesn’t know anything about the female reproductive system

No because I don’t use tampons. I use a cup and period undies. He does see my period undies in a clump on the shower floor though 😂

@Kellie he gets so mad at me 😭😭😭

@Asha for how many tampons you go through? Mad at what babe

@Kellie my panty pile in the shower

I just asked and it was worth the giggle, I haven’t used them in years though as I like period pants now.

@Sarah what’d he say?

@Asha “like 4”… “4 what, 4 per period or per day?”… “like 4 all up” 😂 It’s like the famous NASA engineers story who apparently asked Sally Ride if she needed 100 tampons for a 6 day trip to space. He’s pretty good though with it all, before the knickers he knew all the brands I used and would put them in the trolley. He just clearly has no clue on the amount used 😂

To quote my husband “for you none. If it was me let me think it’s heavy at the beginning so I’d probably change it every 2 hours so I don’t go septic. Then probably every 4 hours. And it last like 3-6 days but if it just spotting you probably don’t need it so..doing math maybe 15” I’ll give him credit I do usually have to empty my diva cup every 2-4 hours 😂

Probably not, but he does often go “isn’t your cycle due soon?” When it’s usually due within that week lol

@Tessa 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

@Asha I asked him how many pads he thinks I use (in my mind I was like 40) he said probably 20-25 (it’s actually like 25 😂). He said he’s a girl dad he needs to know this shit lol

My hubby buys them for me he knows exactly how many I use lol

@Tessa that’s what I’m saying! Most men have and will be around women their entire lives (moms, sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmas, etc) to not have ANY idea unless you grew up in one of those households where everyone hid everything AND (or no women/no menstruation) you didn’t learn sexed I don’t understand how you wouldn’t have a slight clue

I’m with @Dory and @Sarah on this one but I’d have to say 8-10 for the amount of times I pee during my cycle 😂
