What is the most creative thing you've ever done with a female paper product?

Question

(Inspired by the bloody nose scene in "She's the Man.")

Answer 1

As a little kid in the 70s it was considered the height of "cool" to dress up in your dad's hand me down fatigues and play war with your friends. We had the toy guns, the gear and this deep seeded need to fake and prolong our death screams for minutes as everyone cheered. However, after playing war pretty much all summer...we kinda grew tired of the same old same old....and one day during a church picnic at the parsonage (my father was a minister) where we lived, a bunch of my friends (some of them ministers kids as well) decided to have a look around the house to see what we could use to throw at each other during a lazy afternoon game of war. Well...we searched everywhere...and lo and behold under my mothers sink I discovered this HUMONGOUS box of, what looked like at the time, sticks of white dynamite. Oh man...I was thrilled, my buddies where thrilled...and so we each took a handful of "dynamite" and began our battle...on the front lawn of the parsonage. We pretended they were grenades, pulling the "pins" out with our teeth and flinging them hither and yon. There musta been over 50 sticks of dynamite strewn about the yard when we heard the high pitched scream of a picnicking mother...which, of course, brought EVERYONE running from the back yard to see what was wrong. The men laughed nervously, the women blanched and scrambled faster than I thought was ever possible, simultaneously grabbing their little soldiers in one hand, and tampons in the other. My friends and I just looked at each other, smiled and thought...this was the BEST game of war ever.

Answer 2

That is an amazing story, Mr Dyson. How could anyone compete with that?? All I've ever done with those things that could even remotely be considered creative is decorate a tree for Christmas using nothing but feminine products stained with food coloring.

And of course my first aid kit... not even gauze itself is better gauze than a good overnighter- hasn't stuck to anything yet!

Answer 3

Who can beat Monitorhead's answer? That would make for a great short story. I wonder if it happened on a summer's eve. I have always thought that those plastic tampon devices would make great fishing lures with a treble hook at the end and flashing blades on the sides. They would have the right scent. I wonder with what sort of a dinner occasion would feminine napkins be appropriate. Are they those really frilly napkins with floral designs made of delicate paper?

Answer 4

My son got out of the tub once and pulled the mirror off the wall accidentally and it hit him in the back and one of his arms and left a huge, blood pouring cut on his arm. I grabbed the first thing I could find when he yelled for me - a feminine napkin! How embarrassed do you think he was when we went into the ER with that thing soaking up blood from his arm? He'll never forget that one!

Answer 5

Sealed up a bullet wound on a PFC in Desert Storm. Worked like a charm. Most guys had some who were out on the front line.
I had three in my back... I'll post pics later on my 360 for ya...
