Tampons soaked in vodka? - *WARNING WARNING*

Danalana wrote: A woman on one of my message boards posted about a new phenomenon among teen girls who don't want alcohol on their breath....soaking tampons in vodka (or whatever) and then inserting them I'm not sure I believe it. There are some sites that really discount the rumor. One major agrument is this: How the heck do you get that thing in after it's soaked? They expand to about the size of your head when they're soaked, so I don't see successfully getting them in. Next, would it hold enough to really make any kind of difference? And next, BURN!! And next...EWWWWWWWW!!

What do you think? Do you know anybody who has done it?

holley79 replied: What will kids think of next. You google it and you get all kinds of sites. Snopes doesn't have anything listed yet.

PrairieMom replied: if they weren't doing it, they will try now. Good grief. You really can't put anything past kids these days. What are they going to think of when my children get to be that age?

cameragirl21 replied: ok, let me understand here--they want the effect of the vodka but don't want it on their breath so they're putting it up their crotches?
ok, admittedly, I'm not an expert in biology and anatomy but in order for vodka to have any effect, it must enter your blood stream so unless you have a gaping wound "down there" then the vodka will have no effect whatsoever, at least not the desired effect.
I think that story is a crock.

PrairieMom replied:
I'm sure some of it would be absorbed through the skin... I don't know I'm not a biologist or what ever. Who wants to volunteer to try it out?
anyone?

Boys r us replied: Hmmm..let' see..not me Tara!

Danalana replied: I don't see how you'd be able to get it in there!

skinkybaby replied: That makes my crotch hurt just thinking about it. No thanks!

PrairieMom replied:
way to take one for the team!

A&A'smommy replied: i hope thats not true

ZandersMama replied: I would say it's probably true, sadly. A man won a Darwin award for doing alcohol enemas. Apparently its a very porus area and alcohol absorbs easily. Unfortunately you can get alcohol poisoning very easily as well.

I'll check and see if I can find the link.

ZandersMama replied: Found it

Jamison'smama replied: It was on a CSI episode--it's soaked while still in the plastic applicator---can't believe it could hold enough that way to make much difference.

Kentuckychick replied: I'm sorry... but the only thing I could think of when I read this was...

Well your breath smells nice but your crotch is definitely three sheets to the wind!

EWWW!

mckayleesmom replied:
OMG...I watched that episode too...

Crystalina replied: Wait a minute...isn't vodka odorless? Isn't that my alcoholics like to drink it? To hide the fact they've been drinking?

BTW, I know now all alcoholics drink. I've just heard that people who like to hide the fact they've been drinking choose vodka.

Cece00 replied: Vodka isnt really odorless, you can smell it if someone has been drinking. I'm sure they soak them while they are still in the applicator & then insert...

Weird. I've never heard of it.

Celestrina replied: I can't say I'm surprised. I can see some idiots trying it because someone said it works, even if it doesn't.

jem0622 replied: Wha?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well thank heavens I am using the Diva Cup

HuskerMom replied: I really hope it's not true, that's just sad.

holley79 replied: Vodka is not odorless, you can still detect it. Actually it just like when you take an oral medication "down there" it is absorbed much quicker.

Here is something I found today while I was still at work and was talking to some of the DARE people. They have also heard of this.



Parents Beware of Vodka Soaked Tampons

Also boys are inserting the tampons into their anus to get the same effect, so it's not just the girls. Hmm wonder if more boys will be buying tampons now?

moped replied: Isn't the reason alcoholics drink vodka is because it is almost odorless? I don't know but I thought I heard that before!

MoonMama replied: WTH?!?!?!

Kentuckychick replied:
Yeah -- it doesn't have a strong odor... there's still an odor but not strong at all.

Apparently though, gone are the days when high school kids just poured vodka in their gatorade bottles and snuck it into basketball games (not that I ever did this ) and here are the days where they soak their tampons in alcohol, stick them up their hoohas and let themselves marinate.

The world just keeps getting crazier!

Oh there are so many things wrong with this little news flash! I don't know about you but I think I would much rather just have my son ask me for a beer!

Crystalina replied: I read last night that some vodka's are made odorless but after ingesting so much of it the odor of alcohol can no longer be hidden. Basically a sip or two won't be noticed but if you go too far it's obvious to others.
