While walking the dog this morning I spotted what at first looked like a piece of tissue laying in the road. Stepping over it I noticed a string. Looking closer, definitely a tampon but badly worn and difficult to say if it was actually used or not. It had also rained last night. My first thought was it could have fallen out of the garbage truck (two days ago, I didn't walk that far yesterday so it could have been there). I thought this was a bit odd since I'm under the impression that most women flush and I'm in a rural area and there are few neighbors who would have a need for a tampon so the odds of one making it out of the garbage truck would be slim. On the trip back I spotted something else on the shoulder and just a few yards away, This time the remains of a tampon with a bit of cardboard applicator and wrapper attached, well worn as the first. I believe this was a separate tampon from the first although its possible there was only one and it had gotten run over by a few dozen log trucks.
Now I'm wondering how it got there. If it was really two that ended up there a few yards apart it is unlikely that they fell out of a garbage truck. It would have been about a half mile from the nearest neighbor and she is in her 70's so it wasn't hers.
So any stories of finding tampons or pads in odd places?
