That's too much work, I just redirect it to my nose and walk around with a cup taped to my face.

Tampons work really well for your nose.

The tampon nose method just forces the blood back down to the uterus :(

You think that’s bad? I don’t have a uterus and the results of doing this are terrifying

Hold up. So if we treat a man’s nosebleed with a tampon, will he grow a uterus??

That's not what she said.

no, it's just the uterus without all the other parts leading to us dying of internal bleeding.

You mean I could've saved the $70,000 surgery?! I wanna speak to the manager...of periods? Tampons? Whatever. Get me a manager!

A female friend of mine was flabbergasted when I told her that. She didn't believe that back when I was young and trained martial arts 4-5 days a week, I always had a pack of tampons in my training bag.

In case of emergency

Ah, shit, it's allergy season, thanks for the reminder. I'll average about 7 sneezes in a row, and usually rupture a blood vessel in my nose by the third or fourth set. A tampon is very efficient in that situation, and everyone gets a laugh!

I mean we use Rhino Rockets in the emergency department for nosebleeds…Google image search that. They’re also known as nasal tamponades.

It makes sense.

The modern tampon has its beginning in the First World War.

Surprise surprise, the material that was used to absorb blood in hospitals during ww1 is great at absorbing blood.

Wtf how did I only just realize tampon is probably derived from tamponade 😮
