This may be a bit too graphic for some of you out there, but I have got to say it anyway.  I was opening the box of tampons today and I started to read the back of the box.  I know how to use tampons but there was this little chart so that you can figure out if you need 'regular' or 'super' or if you really need it... 'super plus.'  Well, the chart that is meant to help you decide which absorbency of tampon you need has 2 columns and 3 rows.  The columns are labled "absorbency" and "absorbency ranges" under the absorbency column it read regular, super, superplus.  Under the range column it read 6-9 grams, 9-12 grams, and 12-15 grams.  Now if you're still able to follow me, your probably wondering why I bothered to explain this all in a blog.  First, it confused the heck out of me.  How does one know how many grams they are... what is the word? .... emitting, releasing, secreting, oozing, bleeding, etc?  I hardly try to measure it so how in the hell would I know exactly what tampon I need based on measurements.  In addition, who in the hell in the U.S. uses grams to measure?  All of that time thinking about grams and absorbencies and what not because I was stupid enough to read the tampon box.
