You're supposed to suffer because of your great-grandma, Eve. That means no tennis and no gym class.

but tennis and gym class ARE miserable!! I tried to get out of both of them by blaming my "woman time" but my lesbian gym teacher threw a tampon at me and said to go change in the locker room. So I used a tampon AND i suffered.

That isn't the type of suffering God had in mind. Personally I find it to be a blessing not to have to do those things. The suffering comes in the form of cramping, bloating, moodiness, tiredness, chocolate cravings, and serious pain in childbirth. Tennis and Gym class pale in comparison.
Tampons are just a better way to suffer though the issues. some people get rashes from pads. Some people have such heavy flow that if they don't wear both, they have an accident. I don't think God wanted us to suffer that type of embarrassment. The pain is to remind us of our sin, not to humiliate us on a monthly basis.

But the girls threw tampons at Carrie after she had her first period, in her titular novel, by King, and throwing things at people after harshly judging them is what Christians do best! So clearly, tampons are the paragon of Christianity. Plus, it gives hypocritical, uptight religious women an excuse to use something phallic without the related guilt of their oppressive religion to bear down on them.

Seriously, you don't think we suffer? You don't think the pain of labor, the cramps, the fatigue the fact that you bleed for 5-7 days out of a month and must stop every few hours to change the tampon. WTF is wrong with you? Do you think you could ask anything more sexist? Do you honestly think that all women use tampons for is so they can work out? Do you even understand what a period is? I can't get over how dumb that question was.

Huh? You make no sense at all. Tennis, Tampons and Gym have nothing in common!

That's like comparing Apples to Oranges, 1984 to the Odyssey, Micheal Jackson to a Catholic Priest; wait, those last to are the same.
ANYWAYS!!
NO, it is NOT UN-CHRISTIAN TO WEAR A TAMPON!
GET OF THE DOOBIE!!

Where in the holy doctrine does it specify that "thou shalt not wear a tampon"? I don't think that Jesus told Mary, "you better not put that tampon in you or else my dad will send you to purgatory"
In short, No. Tampons and Christians are mutually exclusive.

No, I do not think that tampons are un-Christian. Would you like a little trivia? "Tampon" is french for "plug".
You seem to have a monkey on your back...what's your agenda, anyway?

I've never heard anything like that before. But if you're really wondering, ask your priest. (That might be a little weird.) So on second thought, a nun, perhaps?
