What if a girl didn't give you a tampon? Is it a betrayal to all female kind?

[SuzuBrooke]

LOL, I'd be soooooo angry with that person. Knowing some of my friends in my friendgroup it will totally be the next hot rumour.
It isn't betrayal to all woman kind but imagine feeling bloated 24/7 and cramping, having to sit a certain way and check your pad whenever you can just to make sure it isn't about to burst or hasn't moved or there will be a giant red stain on your bottoms that's a pain to get out if you can get it out. That enough will definitely be enough to make you self conscious and an emotional wreck. And that's why almost all girls will sympathize with each other when someone asks for one.
Not doing so if you do have plenty of spares is horrible and just plain torture. When a pad or tampon leaks it doesn't feel good at all since we're so sensitive down there and we don't want a giant reminder of the accident so we usually keep our friends of the same sex with us to the bathroom just in case. And that's one of many reasons why we nearly always go together to the bathroom it's become a habit that we'll be there for one another.

Wow.. so many devided comments...

I might be on my pen in this one but...
Should you? Yes... It's what a caring and kind person would do...

Do you have to? Fuck no... Is it a betrayal? Nope... Cuz you don't owe them anything... Especially if they have put you in an awkward or humoring position before...

I think if you have the ability to help someone you should. I (at least think) understand how horrible it can be in this specifics situation. And if I had the ability to spare a person that then I would...

But I don't owe it to that person especially if there being aggressive or abusing me... Some people mentioned the karma of helping her so you won't get stuck out... What about the karma of her abusing you and then asking for your help?

I know I'm a guy and haven't lived that so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt... But I don't c it as a betrayal to all wemon... Though I do really apretiate the unity in it... The fact that so many wemon feel like it's a betrayal mean that chances are most wemon will have your back in this situation cuz it's just established that they should, and I think that's actually really cool.

Guys don't really have that... I mean we have some code of conduct similar to it but it only extends to his friends and family... Not all of men... So I really apretiate the unity in this situation.

The question, is the "enemy" asking for the tampon and ready to accept assistance? If she is, that is a sign of a cease fire, so it will be a betrayal if you don't, otherwise if she hasn't and isn't, let not forget ego is real, you might give it and its thrown in the dustbin right away, so why waste it to someone who might not appreciate it. Let's get real here, if a criminal tries to kill me and I got him first, i believe life is precious but I ain't taking him to a damn hospital, I will be sending him to a morgue.

[GlitterFairy16]

Lol no, i remember when i was younger a girl started her period im the changing rooms for PE and was crying in the toilets. Here friends went round asking her tampons and said i didn't have any because i had one left and there expensive and i was on my period too and also this was back when puberty was just starting for all us girls and period shaming was still a really big thing in school back then its only resently girls have started being more and more open about periods and i didn't want to admit but id got my period yet or it probably would have gotten around school quickly and before i knew it boys would be calling me a dirty slut. Luckily the PE teacher had a box full in her office for her so i didn't feel too guilty.

[just-a-bored-girl]

No, WTF. It would be mighty self centered of me to think a girl betrayed all of womankind just because she didn't give me a tampon when I'm the only female being affected by the decision, especially if we hate each other. Though I would definitely give anyone a pad (we really don't use tampons where I live) if I have one and don't need it and they does. And I think most people I know would do the same for me.

[Daniela1982]

I don't speak for anyone else but I only carry enough for myself. I don't carry extra for every other girl to use because she doesn't go out without being prepared. She should know when her period comes so going out in a slinky outfit without anything but her cell phone is dumb.

[Bisexual_music_geek]

IF they have a SPARE tampon/pad it's a messed up thing to do. If they have a spare I know they aren't "entitled" to give it to me but they will go on my shit list if they don't help another woman in need. I don't care how much I hate a girl, if she needs a pad/tampon and I have a spare on me than I WILL give it to her.

[SpiderManFan2002]

No, not really. Some girls just don't carry that stuff around with them all the time, or maybe they're also on their period and only have a few left- I get that.

Lucky for me, my secondary school always provided pads/tampons but you had to go to the office and ask the office ladies. At my college, there's just this tub thingy on the wall in every girl's bathroom and they've got pads/tampons of all sizes, so I prefer that because you can just quickly grab one and go.

[Hangry22]

Oh hate doesn't apply here. I have given pad (pad girl here) to a girl who I don't like since she asked me. But I have also not given to a girl when I had one with me. That was because I had really heavy bleeding and would surely need one more to go if I didn't wanna stain myself. I don't find that betrayal. If I gave my only pad to that girl, I would be betraying myself.

[Mystic_Nova]

It's way more than just denying a girl a tampon. Periods is something majority if girls get and it's a bitchx especially with certain girls who get it real bad. The nightmare of many, if not all girls, is to bleed and ha e it seep through ones clothes and the while world sess. Its downright humiliating and scarring for some.

If you dont give a girl a tampon or a pad, when you have one and they dont. espauclly ifnyou dint need it at the moment, you are literally causing something that isn't in her control to become an ever bigger issue.

Betrayal is a good word to describe it, evil is an better word. I dont care if you got got into a fist fight because she made fun of your mom, denying a girl you dont like a tampon or something, tells me that you are an even BIGGER douchebag and that you're mama didn't raise you right.

Its shameful and it is pretty much dishonorable as a woman to do that to another woman in my book.

[jennifer_bloom]

I once needed a pad and I tried to convince a girl who didn’t like me to give me one by offering her money - she said thank you but she did not have an extra one and I should ask a friend of hers who had one

[emmily2396]

Do you realize that women aren't some kind of separate species that acts purely on instinct so you can't predict their behaviour?

I have 0 idea wtf you are talking about. It's up to each individual what they choose to do. I wouldn't do nice things for people I dislike

[Flower7]

It's nobody's responsibility to provide feminine products to anyone else, regardless of whether they like the person or not. There's no type of "girl code" in place for that.

Menstrual products are expensive and offering one to someone would only be based upon the owner's level of generosity and kindness. But it's not required by any means.

[nelly83]

So what? If you didn’t offer a homeless man food, does it mean that you are against human kind?

I dont have to give you a tampon or a pad. You’re not entitled to one either. Pads are not cheap and if I offer you one, consider it coming from a selfless kind heart.

Ans Most of us use pads. So stop touting tampons around like nobody uses pads

[WolfyGirl2077]

if it happend to me she was on my shit list right away when a girl is in need dosent matter if u hate her u help her

[Gedaria]

I would find it sad, that this could happen. Some chemists have been known to hand them out to rough sleepers , specially during covid-19. There is a big move to make them cheaper in the UK, dropping the tax got starters...

[Godofmyownwurld]

I've never had to ask for a tampon, and no one's ever asked me.

[Account]

We dont always carry that stuff along with us, so no.

[Anonymous]

Asking for a tampon to another girl, even your enemy, is waving the truce flag. Every girl has had to ask a friend, their mom, a cousin, some rando woman in the bathroom for one at some point, and it is an absolute crime against female kind to not offer one if you have it in your possession because you know some day you may be in that position, and it's not fun to be there, and we all know what happens if you don't get one, so you do offer even to your enemy.

[angeliquedevereux2]

It's not that big of a deal. If she can't find one she'll just have to layer with toilet paper ig

[BlueScorpio]

Shrug.. I don't think I would ask someone who hates me for a tampon. I probably just go buy some or shove some paper towels down there until i get home.

[genericname85]

i'm sure that shit happens xD probably not that often tho.

[UserL83]

Totally betrayal. If you have an extra to spare, you share. Enemy or not. And yes, it's also the decent thing to do.

[Anonymous]

Wow this is something that I had never thought of, being a guy. Interesting topic!
