Nosebleed
-
Tampons absorb, which isn’t great if you need to help clot your leaky flesh. It’s better than nothing, but gauze or tissue would be better.

If you get nosebleeds often, go to the dr. They can fix it. Had mine fixed as a teen, went from weekly to never.

Rather die before I bought medicine from a dollar general. Can't trust that shit

Mine are about once a month or two. I live in Florida so the air is humid and warm, my issue isn't with the frequency but rather that they won't stop. I'm on a medicine that has a side effect of thinning blood, I looked into getting it fixed and decided wasn't big enough of a deal to actually do.
Glad it worked for you though! -
Would also be funny if it was a maxipad.
-
Dollar general stuff is actually often the exact same brands in smaller portions.
-
maxipads were invented for wounds like this. the menstrual solution came after the war.

I'd add to this that 30 minute nosebleeds don't sound that healthy either!
-
Tampons absorb to grow thicker and then staunch the bleeding by blocking it. It's literally called a tamponade.

It's legally the same chemical, and often the same brand. However, their handling of potentially sensitive products is profoundly lacking. See: https://apnews.com/article/dollar-tree-lead-cinnamon-applesauce-wanabana-7376af3115d7fe506ad2cb168787d1d3
I wouldn't trust them to properly comply with a recall that I as a consumer would usually trust the store to handle, like taking products they know to be contaminated off the shelf. Additionally, I wouldn't trust them to ship or store those products in compliance with manufacturers guidelines.
Most things will be fine, but some things breakdown or develop issues if not stored in what are typically reasonable conditions.
For example, if kept too long or in improper conditions, aspirin can break down significantly and provide less benefit. Annoying if you're taking it for a headache, potentially dangerous if you're taking it for clot prevention.
Likewise bottled water, although typically drawn from municipal water supplies, is not held to the same standards and can develop bacterial growth if left in poor conditions too long.Then there's the chronic staffing issues that can lead to food that requires refrigeration, like meat or dairy, to sit waiting to be put in the cooler for far, far longer than is safe.
Dollar stores are great for stuff like "I lost my shirt at the beach and I need something so I can go inside a restaurant", crayons, and general "stuff" you need only a small amount of and can afford the relative markup or only need infrequently. I wouldn't trust them for anything that goes inside a living creature because I have no confidence they even have enough staff to try to handle things appropriately.

The fact that I get to learn cool facts while commenting on memes is a reason why I love the Internet.

Cronus would be proud

I read someone say that (here or on Reddit) when there was post that Russian soldiers were given tampons to use to stop bleeding.
I searched for history of tampons and that looked like the person was just bullshitting. I think OP probably saw the same comment as me.

Tamponade is what they drink in hell on hot days.

Bonus: absorb some cocaine in it so when you use it, you get a burst of energy!

Tamponade is what they drink in heaven on hot days.

Dollar stores are great for stuff like
also wrapping paper and cheap 3 ring binders.

*There is a good chance they can fix it.
A friend of mine wanted to get their nose fixed but the doctors said that their nose wasn't suitable for the procedure and that it would most likely make it worse instead of better. They mostly grew out of it naturally though, going from multiple times a day as a teen to less than once per month as an adult.

Recently saw an army training video and they used tampons as tinder for campfires. I wonder when they started doing that.
-
They were invented to plug bullet wounds in wartime after all, until nurses noticed they had other practical uses as well.
Don’t quote me on that though, I don’t remember where I read that.
