I do wonder if there's a mistranslation going on... in French, 'un tampon' is just a cotton pad, or a buffer on a train (other meanings are available). Best not to get them confused.ddraver said:
Tell me more..?MattFalle said:
oh - and please please please don't go stocking upon tampons to put anywhere where they aren't meant to be unless you want to get dead disease.
I have been told they re a useful first aid kit device. Them & Cellophane...0 -
Totes mega negative. Never ever stick them anywhere unless you're using them for what they are designed for.
Essentially, they are just an absorbent package - they will just keep on absorbing whatever liquid goes into it and won't help stop the haemorraghing itself or assist the body's natural clotting process - this is what you need.
Chuck one in a glass of water and you'll see what I mean
To stop haemorraging you need bleed control, pressure and elevation - a tampon does none of this, it just soaks up blood. For Cat Haem (big bleed) we'll use tourniquets and a haemostatic gauze such as Cellox for junctional instances.
We also use pressure bandages not absorbent ones. Google Emergency Care Bandage.
And bear in mind that the average person has 5 or 6 litres of blood in their body (rough guesstimate we work on is 1l per 13kg of body weight) and 40% of blood loss is pretty terminal you'll see why a tampon is big time no no. I tend to slap people who turn up with tampons for their not designed use.
And no - don't start trying to improvise t'quets. Your belt won't work.
They're mega for starting fires though.
Clingfilm is mega though - burns, blisters, on top of dressings, amputation packaging,sandwiches,.... loads of stuff.

So, to suumarise, only use tampons if you don't want to get blood on the floor and don't mind killing your patients.1

To bring it home, 60kg cyclist has 4.6l of blood.
Plastic container of wiper wash from B&Q is 5l.

The internet tells me they are good for nose bleeds and leech bites. I can understand the second one. Very messy.0

nose bleeds use a specialised designed by doctors for nose bleeds things. not something for menstrual bleeding.
and we're not talking "picked too many bogies" nose bleeds we're talking max fax.
if your leech bite is big enough that you think you need to shove a tampon in I suggest that you've actually been bitten by a crocodile.
The study that does quote tampon use is where a leech was removed from the area where tampons are meant to go.

My attempt at knee surgery with the edge of my ski for example. Messy and needed tidying up by a (rather lovely, swiss) seamstress, but hardly life threatening.
pressure and elevation for your knee. just a bit of claret, tbh.

What, you mean you can't use a used/discarded filter from a cigarette? But they are the right size!!
Yeah, Mum had a proper nosebleed in her forties... was in Southmead hospital for a few days, with those things stuck up her nostril.1 -

Wandering even further off topic, got a rec on how to remove a tick if you don't have access to tweezers or one of those specifically shaped card things. Just start wiggling it gently side to side with your finger on its fat arris and eventually it detaches itself. Mind you, yet to test this myself. And hope I never have to.TheBigBean said:

You offer the leech a Marlborough and when it detaches to take a drag, you put the honey on your skin so it can't get a grip.TheBigBean said:

Seriously - honey is the way forward for minor bits: small cuts, insect bites, grazes, etc.
Natural, healing, works utterly brilliantly as an antiseptic.
