Ladies!
You know what gets weirder the more you think about it? Getting up to go to the bathroom when you're carrying (*whispers*) a tampon.
It was determined long ago, probably by some man, that revealing a tampon anywhere between the innermost pocket of your handbag and the relative safety of a bathroom stall is "awkward." And as we know, misfortune will rain upon anyone who improperly conceals her feminine hygiene products, lest it be known that you have a uterus. Skies will darken. Crops will wither. A plague of killer bees will descend upon your home and take up residence in every last pair of shoes -- even in the bunny slippers you just wear around the house because no one sees you there.
Whether you let slip the fact that you're (*uses morse code*) on your period shouldn't matter whatsoever, but such is a woman's burden. Oh well!
Below, please find nine of our favorite ways to bring a tampon into the bathroom completely unnoticed, so you can rest easy knowing that no one suspects you are a female human.* Good luck out there!

* Being a female human rocks and this is a joke.
