Exactly! We grow up thinking we’re so modern with stuff our grandparents and beyond couldn’t comprehend but nah we’re all humans and it’s all been done to some degree in some way before XD

A lot of poorly written material gets popular tbh. And so many incredibly written pieces get overlooked and remain mostly unknown. Sad fact of the literary world it seems!

Ih that’s interesting to note as poor writing can definitely ruin a book! I’ve never read it myself and never intended in it so I hadn’t heard about the quality issue before.

My grandma once announced to me and some of my cousins and her daughters that she read 50 Shades and it was boring and unimpressive. We all nearly died and she was shrugging it off like it was no big deal. None of us expected her to even know about it let alone having read it… LET ALONE HAVING READ IT AND FOUND IT BORING AND VERY UNDERWHELMING

Granted she and Grandpa made 13 babies together so I guess they kept things fresh between them 😝

One thing to add to this comment though is that while it is nifty to know how to use tampons and using them more often tends to make getting them in next time easier, don’t feel bad (@OP) if you end up feeling emotionally unable to do tampons cuz that seems fairly normal. I only used them for several years myself and one of my closest and longtime friends used them almost always (swim team back in our school days) and we both never use them anymore cuz they’re just… they just take it out of you in a way other options don’t.

But the learning curve is very real and having a better grasp on how to put them in is a good skill to have if only to a minor degree.
