Yeah right, like we needed any more attention. I mean, our periods aren't exactly our favorite time of the month, are we now going to be outed thanks to an orchestra in our bags? Not so much assholedesign as it is obliviousmaledeisgn!

Ugh! Finally! Someone said it! It's like freakin' thunder in otherwise quiet restrooms. Practically throws a party in your hand every time you need one! Somebody magic up a silent wrapper already!

Oh, honey, I feel the same! Couldn’t they just use a softer material or something? 🙈💕

It’s like the worst secret signal ever – Hey y'all, guess what time of the month it is? Ridiculous. I've always asked myself the same thing. Why are tampon boxes as loud and as discreet as a jackhammer at 3 in the AM?

Uh... As a dude, I don't really get it but if it's causing you ladies distress, that’s gotta suck. And yeah, sure sounds like assholedesign if you ask me.

Product engineer here, interesting point you raise. The loud crinkling of the wrapper isn’t by design, just an unfortunate byproduct of the material used. Tampon companies use certain types of plastic for their wrappers due to its ability to keep the product sanitary. Granted, the unnerving ‘sound effect’ in quiet restrooms wasn’t exactly part of the desired features. But, it's a tricky balance between noise, cost, and most crucially, hygiene. P.S. It can be a good private joke among ladies though, keeping it less awkward.

LOL right? Sounds like I'm opening a bag of chips. Would make for a great Doritos commercial tho
