Today, my mom threw my tampons in the garbage and said that from now on, I'll be buying pads instead. Turns out she read a scare story going around by email that all the local teens are soaking their tampons in alcohol and inserting them anally to secretly get drunk. FML

It could be worse. My friends mom opened up the trash once to look for her used tampons because she thought she was faking being on her period and hiding being pregnant. All because of some Dr. Phil episode too.

I read that story as well. It also said that people drink the alcohol from hand sanitizers. She can't keep you safe.

The whole alcohol-tampon thing is a documented urban legend, there's no proof it's ever been done by teenagers, let alone by a whole lot of them, not least because the alcohol would burn like hell. Even if you did manage to insert a soaked tampon, the amount of alcohol would be really low. Your mom's a moron.

And you need to check your sources, plus check the tampons, some have plastic applicators, pretty stiff! Like the brain, our bowels don't expect anything damaging from inside, very few pain receptors compared to mouth etc.

Sadly this wouldn't surprise me, but any idiot who does this is really stupid. One, putting alcohol in your ass gives you no natural filter, causing you to get drunk faster AND to have a higher chance of getting alcohol poisioning which leads to death if untreated.

Sorry pretty sure. Nurse friends have told me the know personally of cases and in one case death. Any kind of membrane in the body will pass fluids.

Sadly this is true and they don't feel the effects of the alcohol poisoning either, so they can be overdosing and not know about it
