I was slightly devastated today to learn that McNeil-PPC, Inc is discontinuing manufacture of my brand of tampons: o.b. Yes, those freaky little numbers sans applicator. I LOVE these tampons. How do I love them? Let me count the ways…

1) They are way more absorbent and leak proof than any other tampon I’ve ever tried and since having a child and reaching my late 30s, I bleed like a stuck pig. A stuck pig on its period. TMI? Tough.

2) They are small! Easy to fit into a pocket – even a teeny tiny pocket. I’m an active person and I travel for a living so I don’t always want to lug my purse or a giant tampon around with me, like on stage, when I’m snowboarding or running, riding Tower of Terror at Disneyland… you get the idea

3) No applicator – no extra waste! o.b. tampons are the greenest, most eco-friendly tampon you can find. There are other crazy contraptions like sea sponges and cups that are groovy and all, but sometimes, you just gotta jam and let’s face it, I bleed like a… well, re-read #1.

So McNeil-PPC, Inc., I damn thee to hell! I hate you for making me love you and then walking out on me. I thought we had something real. I guess I’ll just have to go with the flow and find a new slow jam.
