I just don’t get you. Why would you flush your applicator? Are you also flushing your kids’ diapers? Or your cutlery and plates when you are done eating? And why do you still buy plastic applicators when there are cardboard ones available? The other day my two-year-old daughter put a “pretty” pink applicator in her mouth while playing at the beach, not knowing that this thing has already seen the inside of a woman’s vagina. How gross is that? (Seriously, do they really have to be pink?) GROW UP and take on some responsibility for your environment. I am not a Canadian citizen but I love the beauty of this country and it makes me sad and angry to see all these tampon applicators washed up on the shore (not to mention Tim Hortons cups…). -Angry Applicator Hater

You are the most terrible parent to permit a child to wander unsupervised at a beach. There are all kinds of hazards on a beach and you blame the rag-flushing twat? You are the rag-hag in this equation.
Because common sense seems to have disappeared on this planet.
Haha, during school we did a field trip to the Arm in my not so distant younger days. It was explained to us that they were “beach whistles”. To this day a lot of us all remember the one dumb kid that said they don’t work.
op why do you think it was flushed? perhaps it was used behind a convenient bush and then flung?
(and what colour should they be? green? brown? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww)
Women should just slop menstruating. Next problem!
I’d be more concerned about my child putting something in her mouth that had been in the ocean, rather than in a vadgenasty.
At least they don’t have a beach whistle problem on the left coast. Fukushima radiation is melting them all before they hit the shore.
meaty was that *slop* a subconscious jibe at our blessed monthly event?
I’d watch that kid closely now on…
they could become the next toxic avenger.
Oh fuck you, OB. Cardboard applicators are hell to use.
I’ve never flushed a plastic applicator, but just fuck you and your entitlement to tell women what they should be using and what they shouldn’t.
And I wasn’t aware tampon companies had to consult you before they pick a colour for their product.
Finally, what others mentioned: maybe you should watch your kid a bit more closely while out in public. Especially when a large body of water is concerned. Are you going to blame hydrogen and oxygen if your kid drowns because they had the audacity to combine and make a substance you can’t breathe in?
Ya fucking SET.
Headline in newspaper ‘Temporary Foreign Workers sprog contracts herpes from pink plastic minge device’ Film at 11.
yup. That’s some lazy shit.
beach whistles, better then free bleeding
They are disgusting and really only found on the beaches around HRM. They could make them with something biodegradable other than cardboard. I don’t think I’d want to stick anything made of petrochemicals in a bodily orifice for any length of time…
ummmmm how long a time do you think women keep the applicator inserted up there anyway?
Good point! Ha Ha!
Everything P.K. said. Especially the “fuck you” part.
🙂
Wait, is it that the applicators are gross, not the menses? So glad I have a penis….
