Thanks for this - would not have known otherwise, and in fact had my RN wife suggest having them around in my car kit. I've got plenty of Israeli bandages instead.

Fearing a revitalized fascination with cramming sponges into holes. I am pleasantly suprised that maybe this myth will die finally. Good article and well presented. Thanks for sharing

I will say though that when I worked at a Boy Scout Camp as their medical officer tampons do work great for nose bleeds. Honestly I would never think of them for serious traumas though.

I wasn't gonna, but I just have to ask. Why did a BOY Scout camp have tampons?

Not sure actually, there are a lot of den mother's and female counselors that were around so the prior Health Officer to myself must have requested them. I just found them in the health office so I utilized them in the best way I saw fit.
I would have to cut them down as they were adult sized, but they did the job nicely, and I know a rolled up 2x2 would work just as well but it was hilarious to pull one out of my med bag and see the look on a mother's face when she would say "is that what I think it is?"
