Answer 1

There is no way they are going to think that your tampon is drugs. The only things that aren't allowed on your flight are liquids.

Answer 2

Yes you can bring tampons. There is absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed if they look through your bag. Thousands of other female travellers will also be carrying them. Don't worry about it, it's normal. :-)

Answer 3

just stick a couple tampons up your hooha and you will be all set

Answer 4

WHO DO THESE BELONG TO

Answer 5

Don't worry about it! Security sees things like that all the time, and they know what they are. You won't be embarrassed.

Answer 6

once the piece of string isn't sticking out of the end of it then

they might think its dynamite!!

Answer 7

Well its really just paper,plastic, cotton and a string. I dont think you can get high on that. bring extra

Answer 8

if you're that worried about your tampon showing just post it to me

i found that sucking on them helps to limit the dribble stains on my t-shirt

Answer 9

Unless you wear metal tampons it's not going to show up.

Answer 10

No one who checks bags will be remotely concerned by a few tampons. They routinely have to rummage through peoples dirty laundry and all sorts of other nasties.

If a period lasts about a week, the laws of probability would suggest that 1/4 of all the women going through airport security will have tampons in their bags and they don't get their bags emptied - so really there is no cause for worry at all.

Have a great holiday.

Answer 11

i would like to think you could , and do not be embarrassed

Answer 12

I know it's hard at 15, but the sooner you stop being embarrassed about tampons, the better off you'll be.

Answer 13

are you joking. of course you can you arent the first person in the world to have their period during a flight.

Answer 14

yea would think so...cuz its covered n sealed..so, and women have periods...we need these things lol

Answer 15

ofcourse..i'm 15 too, and i took on a bunch of tampons and sanitry towels.. no one said anything.. you can't carry on liquids though.

Answer 16

Of course you can. You can put them in your purse and in your suitcase. They will be x-rayed and that will be end of it.
