Hi girls,

I was at For You recently and found a nice selection of women's products. Namely tampons in various sizes inluding slim and regular. They also carry vitamins and health food like muesli and have a decent cosmetics section.

P.S. Watch out for the ladies who remove hair with string. Had my eybrows plucked recently. Before I could say anything she had removed all of the hair (yes, even the blonde micro fine babyhair on my forehead with a piece of string....very painful and unnecessary) off of my face.

lol! I had my hair removed with the string at my turkish hairdresser back home, but somehow in the girls here a bit less skillfull with handling the strings...

Where is "For you"?

What brand of toilet paper do you feel is the brand of choice, the toilet paper of champions?

I've had a good laugh this morning! This post was supposed to be in the new girls room. I guess I clicked Post NEW topic ha ha ha....I was in a hurry.

How fabulous - I feel almost rebellious posting a topic called Tampons! Next week I'll be burning my bra in Taksim next to the giant posters celebrating women.

Dagi, they are a new chain and seem to be popping up everywhere. There is one in Taksim nowadays. It's near the square a block or two down the hill on the dolmus side of things.

Well Sheikh - I can understand your level of enthusiasm for the topic, but it just goes to show that men (who use far more toilet paper than women) can't possible understand why wearing a pad is just so....disgusting sometimes. I don't know about anyone else, but I got fed up with wearing diapers a long time ago. As far as toilet paper is concerned, Selpak makes the softest toilet paper.

I have no idea what anybody's talking about here.

I am in the office with my Turkish fiance. I have just asked him what tampon means in Turkish. He took a brochure to demonstrate, 'this is car' and 'here tampon'
'Which is the tampon?' I say as the brochure is not really car-shaped.

'We have front tampon and back tampon.' Mmmm painful!

"Tampon" can generally mean a thing that can absorbe something. There is also a certain type of printing called "tampon printing" and in the engeneering world there are a few tampon thingies, too.

[Golightly]

The word 'tampon' used to refer to the sanitary product was originally used as a neutral euphemism, inasmuch as it is something that absorbs something else.

so there.

here's a joke:

what's red and only comes out at nights?







a sanitary owl.
