I'm just trying to get an idea of the expense of it. Girls, how many tampons do you use per month?

[Anonymous]

My guess would be about a dozen.

[smashleyy]

ur guess would be wrong. My period lasts about a week and I could go through 10 tampons on my heavy days

I was GONNA say 10 but I figured I should add two more just in case it lasts a bit longer.
So, you're saying you use more than 10 or 12?

[theionano3]

thats why our school offer free ones

[Asker]

So, is a dozen correct?
If so, that comes out to just under 4 full boxes per year (40 per box) and I'm guessing around $5.00 a box so, $20 to $25 a year? Over about 45 years so, that's anywhere from about $900 to $1125 per lifetime... how many cotton fields would that be?

[theionano3]

i dont know

[Asker]

I don't need to know that, I was just joking but not about the costs.

[theionano3]

why does it matter
