I have a problem. I have all of my "feminie prodcuts" like, pads, and tampons, under the sink our bathroom. I have 3 other roommates and they have their stuff under there too. But today, I noticed that one of them has been using MY STUFF. The stuff that I bought for ME! It made me mad, because it's like, I don't use their stuff cause that's just rude and weird. And they are like, stealing from me and I am losing money. The money that I used to buy those. ERRR This makes me so mad! It's so weird and gross...

wow. could you freak out any more?
maybe she didn't have any tampons and she needed one...
dang.
sometimes I'm out of tampons and I'll just take a few of my sisters to tide me over until I go to the store...
it's not a big deal.
they're just tampons.
you can buy more.

Are you sure she didn't buy a pack like yours?  Just talk to her, or like the other girl suggested keep them in your room.  Posting a note would be kind of stupid and might piss one of them off if they weren't really taking it.

Another option would be to merely put your stuff in a different place. It's irritating, sure, but my sister steals my things all the time, so I leave them in my bedroom, not in the bathroom.

Yeah, I agree.  I keep my tampons and things in a wooden box, which is actually there for decoration.  I HATE having to look at packages all the time.  Those are your things, so do something.

That's pretty annoying. I would take her aside and talk to her about it. It could be that she is having financial issues and thought that you wouldn't notice that she occasionally swipes a tampon. If she denies it or doesn't see what the problem is, then hide your stuff elsewhere; consider investing in a lock.

Why do you have to keep them in the bathroom??  I keep all my stuff in my room in a drawer somewhere and take individual ones with me to the bathroom whenever i need them.  Its not the end of the world when they take your stuff, stop being so stingy.
I can just imagine you being the kind of person who economises on absolutely everything.

Mark your territory... smear your blood all over your products... they won't touch it then!!    

eugh!!!! thats gross  id rather but more than do that!
stace67 Posted at 10:23 am on Oct. 9, 2005
you should tell everyone to leave your tampons alone they are your's unless they want to buy you twice as many in compensation!!!
ToeJam Posted at 10:58 am on Sep. 30, 2005
or you could just buy a binch of stuff and let everyone use them and not care.  Thats what we do.  Its easier that way and everyone gets what they need.

    My advice is to gather the girls around and have a discussion about property and the fact that unless you ask, you shouldn't use.
    Tampons, pads, sprays all should be for the owner's use only.  If one girl runs out for the day, this girl should ASK to use her room-mate's supplies.  
    I'd suggest having a discussion once a week about the topic at hand.  Whether it be tampon invasion, rumor spreading, or boyfriend snatching.

How is using somebody's unused feminine products "weird"?  My fucking god, it's not like they already shoved it up their vagina.  You are so amazingly anal that it sickened me to read this.  How about all of you stop being so anal and just chip into buy a few boxes for all of you to use.  My roommate and I split everything that goes into the dorm right down the middle so that we don't have to be so anal about counting how many tampons each of us use.
trackgirl Posted at 10:28 am on Sep. 19, 2005
no, i don't count them, i just noticed the wrapper in the waste basket. i bought those for me, not them. i don't take theirs so, if they want to use mine, maybe i should just charge for it huh?
gorgeous nugget Posted at 10:26 am on Sep. 19, 2005
Do you count them or something? Geesh, it's just a couple of tampons. As long as you haven't already used them, I don't see the problem. If it bothers you that much, have an emergancy Tampon Meeting and tell the bitches how you feel.
