One Perspective
The idea that tampons could be reused might seem logical to someone who has never had a period, but it’s an incorrect assumption. While it’s clear that the individual in question understood that tampons are inserted into the body, they may not have realized that they are disposable and cannot be reused.
Compared to some of the other assumptions on this list, this one may seem relatively harmless. However, it highlights the importance of understanding basic menstrual hygiene practices. It’s essential to educate people, regardless of their gender, about the proper use of menstrual products and the importance of hygiene during menstruation. While it’s easy to make assumptions or jump to conclusions, we must always be willing to learn and expand our knowledge on these topics. Perhaps in the future, new technologies will make menstrual products more reusable or sustainable, but until then, it’s crucial to use and dispose of them properly.
