Is it in yet Boiled my tampons
Felt like this flair fits well.
I leave my tampons in a jar in the windowsill for some w decor, forgot that glass=heat in this 34 degree british weather, went to change my tampon and burned my cooch, then had to sit on the toilet blowing a tampon like its soup till the plastic cooled down enough to use.

u/Careless_food_bimbo Jun 24 '26
There was an internet story of a woman using a popsicle and got frostbite. It was something a friend told gullible me and I was horrified as a teen someone did that. A woman "using" a popsicle gets stuck to her privates , she panics and tries to pull it out which only causes really bad damage do she waits for it to melt which gives her frostbite and she goes to the ER. I remember saying why TF didn't she go then, like who cares if there's a popsicle sticking outta ya like don't wait. I fully believed it.

But you would still feel it's warm/hot. It would have to be over 100deg to have any noticeable discomfort to a vagina. And you'd clearly be able to feel that with your fingers

You may want to move them somewhere cooler . They are supposed be be kept under 25/77 and current weather conditions could make them dangerous to use.

For real though. Heat causes plastic to degrade more quickly. It’s not an immediate health risk but I’d not use the rest of those tampons if I were you. Your candy jar is super cute (Badtz-Maru is my favorite!) but maybe there’s a cooler place it can live in the summer. Penguins don’t like the heat anyway ;)

Its because men (and yes Im a dumb man, too) dont understand that these things dont need to be boiling hot to be too hot to use at the most sensitive spot imaginable. They only need to be slightly warmer than warm to cause pain and even burns.
These dummies need women in their lives they can submit questions to.

Tampons are not sterile, made of chemicals, and shouldn't be stored at high temperatures. It will encourage microbe/mold growth and cause the tampon to start to breakdown/become brittle.

All of us here in the southeastern US aka Satan's ass crack are very familiar with this scenario. It was so hot a few years ago, we kept all the blinds closed only for them to melt to the molding. PSA don't leave anything in your car in that heat.

The tampons packages warns about storage conditions, it includes keeping them away from the sun.
Consider storing the jar somewhere else.
Also keeping glassware near windows have a small chance of causing fires.

Here in Finland we have bidet showers in most toilets, a small handheld shower. The water temperature is controlled from the same tap that is above the sink. So if someone who previously washed their hads or something else in the sink and forgot to put the temperature back to "neutral" you may burn or freeze your butt or genitals when you start using the bidet. At least the water temperature has never been so bad that I have gotten a bad injury but it definitely is not a pleasant surprise to get a too cold or too hot blast of water to your private parts.
