Unusual Use For A Tampax- Nosebleed

[gordiescotland1]

Hi i went out for a walk to post a letter and I slipped on a plastic bag that I did not see and went a*** over tit breaking my glasses and banging my nose causing a nose bleed. As i am on a blood thinner rivoroxaban similar to warfarin it went on for a while I had a friend who was dropping a book off I wanted to borrow just came by as I was trying to stem the blood with a soaked hanky she took me inside and got out of her handbag 2 tampaxs and told me to stick up my nose i told her no way but she said this would help well i cant believe it 5 minutes later it stopped. But she took a photo of me and is going to put it on facebook lol i didnt think tampaxes stopped nosebleeds !!

[Jackdaw33]

Is there a difference? Pardon my ignorance.

Is Tampaxes the plural for tampax then?

Are you single, Jackdaw?

Tampon ? Tampax?....the same BOO.....LOL

Both are ideal for nose bleeds (one at a time though;-0)

Dont go down the pub with them stuck up your nose ... they will tarnish your reputation and you will be reminded about it for years to come !

Tampons are a very useful aid in many situations apart from the obvious.

If it were a proper Greek noun, as it sounds, the plural would be Tampakes. Yes I am single, my knowledge of these things is limited to when my mother used to send me to the corner shop with a half crown wrapped up in a note. This greatly annoyed me so I opened the note, went into the shop and loudly asked for a packet of Dr. Whites. My mother was not best pleased when the shopkeeper told her what I had done.

I'm not sticking tampons up my nose. Period.

^^LOL^^

Gordie, if your nosebleed had persisted you would have had a very similar treatment in hospital. I always feel quite sorry for these patients.

[douglas9401]

I think you're getting confused with menstrual crampons, jordy.

[B00]

Tampax is a brand name, a tampon is generic name for them.

[B00]

Depends,if you stick 'em far enough in your ears you won't be able to hear your fellow climbers screaming when they fall off.

[tiggerblue10]

B00 beat me to it....was just about to say that Tampax is a brand name.
