Truth or Dare
What do you do with your tampon string when
you urinate?
Do you wash your hands after using the restroom
facilities?
Gerta: I daintily pull my string aside so as not
to urinate on it. Sometimes I forget about my feminine protection, let
loose with my waste product and become irked as the string slows my urine
flow. Of course, toilet paper does not effectively dry urine-soaked
strings - a distasteful inconvenience. I wash my hands after using
restroom facilities only if A) my own fecal matter is on my hands, B)
Someone else's fecal matter is on my hands or C) there are other people in
the restroom, in which case, I feign cleanliness . . . I want to add that
I have never had a yeast infection. I am queen of light menstrual flow
and I like to snoop around in other people's
bathrooms to see what medications they use and if they have
condoms.Trixie: I have no interesting idiosyncrasies in this
department: I blithely pee all over my tampon string. I generally do wash
my hands, even when no one else is around. However, if "restroom
facilities" include the sink, then no, I usually do not wash my hands
after leaving the bathroom.
Prudence:I tend to forget about the
string and have, on several occasions, "lost" it . . . At least this
situation is better than forgetting about the
string and shoving another tampon in. As someone who frequently
forgets to bring her groceries home from the store, I have serious doubts
as to the universality of this problem. Fortunately, I always wash my
hands.
