Last week I reached a new low in ridiculous things to say on a date. If you’re unaware of my skill (or lack of it) in this area, then please read here for some examples of really quite stupid things I have said in the past.
On a date last week, for a reason I still do not understand, I raised the topic of the inadequacy of tampons and the lack of development in tampon technology over the years. Why hadn’t they invented something better that women could just shove up there for a week and forget about?
Using a parallel of a tape worm that sits inside the stomach and eats up food, I suggested that they develop a worm that a woman can put up her which laps up her period (and yes I did use the term ‘laps up’).
I don’t think I’ve seen someone look quite so appalled. I did argue there are fishes that eat dead skin, but the damage had been done.

[...] #TrueStory What do you think about the lack of development in tampon technology over the past 30yrs? [...]

Oh dear… That’s pretty bad… Lol!
Did she see you again??

Thanks!
… I think we both realised nothing romantic was going to happen. However, we have seen each other since on a friendly level when she came along to the Mojito Mile.

Not sure if it’s worrying that, had I been in her position, I would probably have sat there wholeheartedly agreeing?! Too funny.

Zoe, yes, this is very worrying … well, your friends might think so, not me though, I think it is great you would be agreeing and would happily tell you my further thoughts on this ecological and sustainable innovation. You might also have some great suggestions to improve the idea? I see from the email address you provided (not public, don’t worry) that you are also interested in the area of feminine absorbency?
