Good to use as jewelry, too!
Of course,they will only be free to some folks.
To avoid charges of sexism, the tampons will be available in all men’s rooms, too.
with they make mens electric shavers free too?
FREE! FREE is good! Everything is FREE!
They can be helpful with bullet holes in a pinch.
Is someone going to be employed to hand out all this free stuff available to the public? Otherwise, what is to stop one person from cleaning out the entire supply on a regular basis?
Good to use as jewelry, too!
We need them in the Mens Room too as we don’t want to offend crazy people.
I meant to say “Intelligently Challenged”
You are quick.
My comment to the City of N.Y.?
Up yours!
Due to the risk of septic shock, especially in the mentally ill and/or deficient, and the subsequent lawsuits, they should consider pads instead of tampons.
Just tryin’ to be helpful.
Who gets sued for toxic shock?
Let’s talk about that word “free” ...
And to demonstrate inclusiveness, the Mayor will show how they are used
While doing my research on this I came across this letter.
AN OPEN LETTER TO
MR. JAMES THATCHER,
BRAND MANAGER,
PROCTER & GAMBLE.
February 6, 2007
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years, and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core™ or Dri-Weave™ absorbency, I’d probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I’d certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can’t tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there’s a little F-16 in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from “the curse”? I’m guessing you haven’t. Well, my “time of the month” is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I’ll be transformed into what my husband likes to call “an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.” Isn’t the human body amazing?
As brand manager in the feminine-hygiene division, you’ve no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers’ monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it’s a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend’s testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey’s Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy! The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in capri pants. Which brings me to the reason for my letter.
Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: “Have a Happy Period.”
Are you ******* kidding me?
What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness—actual smiling, laughing happiness—is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you’re some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything “happy” about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlúa and lock yourself in your house just so you don’t march down to the local Walgreens armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man. If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn’t it make more sense to say something that’s actually pertinent, like “Put Down the Hammer” or “Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong”? Or are you just picking on us?
Sir, please inform your accounting department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullshit. And that’s a promise I will keep. Always.
Best,
Wendi Aarons

I could have gone all day without thinking about the bleeding vaginas of the perennial underclass.
So yeah, thanks for that.
My impression of the tampon market is there are various types and brands and that women are particular about what they use. I don’t think tampon’s are like toilet paper where the user will use whatever is available. I assume the actual usage will be very low and mostly for emergencies.
And just how are they going to limit this per person?
Endless free supply of tampons.
IDIOTS
Can’t they just take a roll of toilet paper out of the dispenser and put it in their panties?
