TOTW: why do women still have to be tampon smugglers in 2019?
What is a tampon smuggling you ask?
Tampon smuggling is the struggle women go through attempting to discretely find ways to hide her tampon whilst at work! These are the measures taken to prevent any attention drawn as she skilfully takes her tampon (which has the most inconveniently loud wrapper) out of her bag.

This often sees victims hiding tampons in back pockets, side pockets, hidden pockets you name it. And should the victim be so daring as to wear a dress or skirt without pockets she might have to resort to smuggling tampons in her bra!! Such is the difficult life of a tampon smuggler. If you are unfortunate enough to know the life of a tampon smuggler, we stand with you. Together we must stand ladies to #FreetheTampon.
