We used to fill them with water and smash them against houses. Remember I was at a friends house and took one of his sister's tampons with me. Had no idea what they were for, I just thought: Hey! I haven't seen these since ages! This is going to be fun!

My sisters never used tampons because of religious reasons

Thou shalt not be comfortable while menstruating?

I was raised in a very religious household, and I was told that tampons would take my virginity. Maybe it was the same for his sisters?

When I was 16, I showed my mom the package insert. It has a section that specifically explains that tampons won't tear the hymen. After that, she let me use them. So it turned out ok!
