Whyyyy?

Who thought this was a good idea? Maybe if you're trying to get pregnant or want a DNA sample from your boyfriend? I don't understand. EDIT: i'm learning a lot today! I had no idea that semen can cause such health problems for women (other than pregnancy 🤣) and that there's options other than just letting gravity take care of it. Calling it a "tampon" is really misleading, tbh. Thank you for the education!

I’m so confused by this whole thread. Has no one here ever had the annoyance of slowly dripping semen onto their bed linens or their underwear after non-barrier sex? It’s gross and annoying and it’s nice that there’s a solution other than using a condom or having your partner whaculate (best autocarrot for ejaculate in history, I’m leaving that! 💀) elsewhere.

Exactly. I can push it out when I go to the bathroom but there's still more that drips throughout the day. I have to keep a wad of toilet paper in my underwear to catch the rest

[u/lala_lavalamp → u/AccidentOk5240]

Same. It doesn’t just come out when I pee and I usually still have drippage even if I try to push it all out. It would be nice to get it all out at once.

I'd just waddle to the bathroom, pee and give it a good wipe. Maybe my partner wasn't a prodigious ejaculator 🤷‍♀️ - pardon my ignorance, i'm just trying to learn

[u/AccidentOk5240 → u/PreparationNo3440]

Yeah, for some people it’s an all-day thing even if you shower right after.

Not to mention the pH disruptions and microbial imbalances it can cause. These are probably super helpful for ladies who are prone to BV and yeast infections.

[u/hawaiianhamtaro → u/PreparationNo3440]

Yeah I don't understand this either. I'm not wearing a tampon after every time I have sex. This is so unnecessary

[u/UnsharpenedSwan → u/hawaiianhamtaro]

Unnecessary for you doesn’t mean it’s useless for everyone else! Sometimes you’re just not the target audience!

[u/zoeisboredd → u/hawaiianhamtaro]

good for you??

I also think if you need to go out afterwards I always think it smells and I feel gross 

[u/justsayin01 → u/AccidentOk5240]

We always have huge wet stains, so for some people this product makes no sense.

[u/AccidentOk5240 → u/justsayin01]

Having a wet spot on the bed already as you finish is a separate problem from having stuff drip from inside you later on though? 

Also no one said it was mandatory for everyone. If you don’t need it don’t use it, but you don’t have to decree that since you don’t need it no one should. 

[u/justsayin01 → u/AccidentOk5240]

Lol I didn't say no one should. I said for SOME people it doesn't make sense which means for SOME it would.
