Or I might want to fix my make-up, too, so I'll put it in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-296355 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 08:24:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 296355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as others - the waistband or sleeve trick.</p> <p>I also only buy the tampax cardboard applicators - then I can flush those and the wrapper! win win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-296330 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 07:19:32 +0000 Shutterbug 296330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: haha I can't believe I didn't think of that, I do the same thing! The commercial made me think they wanted you to seal it up and take it with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-296245 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:35:58 +0000 Grace 296245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: I put the applicator back in the pkg after I've inserted the tampon. Perhaps that's why it's resealable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295887 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:37:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 295887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same thing as @Foodnerd81. I don't feel comfortable flashing it for the world to see, but I also don't like taking my whole bag/purse into the bathroom w/me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295880 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:29:20 +0000 tororojo 295880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stick a tampon in my pocket, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295869 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:21:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 295869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put it in my pocket or up my sleeve </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295789 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:36:05 +0000 prettylizy 295789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an up the sleeve in the pocket person. I never bring my whole bag in with me unless I'm doing my makeup or getting changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295784 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:33:36 +0000 Running Elley 295784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same thing as @Foodnerd81: &amp;@Alivoo01: I stick it in my pocket or waistband. I've even stuck it in my bra before. I never take my whole purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295782 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:31:55 +0000 Shutterbug 295782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work provides pads and tampons for free in the bathroom, thank goodness!</p> <p>BTW - what's up with those tampons with resealable wrapping?? Who is resealing a tampon applicator? To use later? What am I missing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295779 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:29:58 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 295779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a semi private bathroom at work, so in the morning I'll bring a bag with my items and put it in the bathroom under the sink. If I forget to do that, I put it in my pocket instead and try to put my arm over any part that may be sticking out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295763 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:22:51 +0000 Alivoo01 295763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @Foodnerd81: in that I tuck it into my waistband with my shirt covering it or up my sleeve if I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt. Bringing my whole purse is pretty much the same as waving around the pad/tampon around in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295749 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:16:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 295749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put it in my pocket if I have one, or the waistband of my pants or skirt if it is tight enough, or if I'm wearing long sleeves, tuck it up into the sleeve. I would not walk around with it showing, but I also am not THAT careful to make sure it's not. I don't bother bringing my purse usually. </p> <p>I also hate the Kotex commercials. I don't care what color the wrapper is, I care if it works and if it is comfortable. That said, I usually buy Tampax because that's what I used when I first started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295722 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:00:17 +0000 pastemoo 295722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use OB and just store them in a little tea canister (an aluminum one that was designed for 2 tea bags) and put that in my pocket. Sometimes I stick a liner in my pocket. I do not bring my whole purse. I hate when there is no purse hook and don't want to use the bathroom while holding my purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295718 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:58:56 +0000 Mrsbells 295718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Lol... I feel the same way and dont take my purse to the bathroom unless I am going out of the building once I'm done like on my lunch break<br /> @MamaMoose: I wish I could do that but I'm not brave enough </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295681 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:45:17 +0000 ladyfingers 295681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just stick one in my pocket, and cover it with my shirt if I wasn't using one of the little kotex ones that fit all the way in to my pocket. That's why I liked those best, even with the bright covers -- they are easy to hide in your hand/pocket.</p> <p>I feel like going to the bathroom with my purse is a declaration to the whole office, "I AM ON THE RAG!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295674 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:42:40 +0000 MamaMoose 295674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just walk with the tampon. I keep it covered by my hand as much as possible with my hand down by my leg. No one pays close enough attention to notice. And even if they do... I don't really think's a big deal. I'm a woman, I have a period, deal with it : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-its-that-time-of-the-month#post-295668 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:40:54 +0000 Mrsbells 295668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>and you go to the bathroom at work, do you take your whole purse with you or do you have a mini case for your tampons, pads or whatever you use?<br /> The kotex commercials kinda iritate me with the bright colored tampons because no matter how they design the covers, I'll never feel comfortable just waving one around. I'm not really a fan of their products either. </p>
