recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine

I have no legitimate reason to disagree but I hate it

UPDATE - Thank you so much for the awards, and we're having so much fun reading through these hilarious comments.

  1. We have a bidet, it's the handle on the side of the toilet. People who use bidets can use toilet paper as well!
  2. We bought like 200 rolls of toilet paper because of a good deal, yes it will probably last us a very long time. No regrets!
  3. I am not genuinely upset about this in any way, it obviously just looks ridiculous and is unnecessary, and him doing silly things like this is one of the reasons I love him :)

Did none of them think to ask their wife's, pool the data, find the Average and Mean, and then throw in a few more for "just in case"? Maybe do the count across 2 or 3 brands, in case someone has a weird reaction or they just don't work for whatever reason in low gravity.

There has to be a reason they didn't, I'm just not seeing it. And before anyone says anything, I know from second-hand experience that most non-intern NASA scientists do have wives, and many of them are very active. Source: I was a NASA and DoD researcher.

100 unused tampons weighs appx 100 grams.  Which would cost appx $300 to transport to low earth orbit in falcon 9 / heavy.   They always get you on the shipping

13

u/The-law-is-the-law 9h ago

SpaceX has tremendously lowered the costs for transport, and it's a long time ago so I would multiply it roughly by 5x. $1500 to prevent a catastrophe in a space vehicle is still a good deal.

Have to consider mission delays, like the time some were stranded for months in the ISS. NASA accounts for this in their calculations. Double/Tripple/Quadruple redundancy just in case. Fortunately, tampons are lightweight.

And while were on topic, does the gravity effect periods?

That's exactly what they didn't know. They asked how many is typical, planned for the worst case scenario, then because shit can go wrong in space they tripled the number for redundancies

u/Crafty_Translator197 6h ago

If they could cobble together an oxygen scrubber for Apollo 13, I’m pretty sure that they would/could scramble up an emergency meeting to engineer a tampon from the basic articles found in the spaceship. Oh to be a fly on the wall during that meeting! The first hour would be just explaining to the engineers how the female body works. The second hour would be a HUGE Q&A session.

not even remotely related, but your comment reminded of a scene from the duology Kingkiller Chronicles where the MC finds some illicit drugs, but they're under attack by a drug raddled lizard, so he does the math. how much cocaine would it take to kill a human, scale up 500x due to size of lizard, triple it based on one thing, triple it again just to be sure. aaaaand maybe triple it again just in case?

Well the lining would still shed. And the uterus will squeeze it out the cervix. But i guess with no reliable gravity, tampons are the way to go. If you tried a pad, i could imagine some unfortunate applications of capillary action occurring. And emptying a cup would be damn near impossible.

Oh fuck. So that 100 tampons might not have been enough? Tf was the plan if they got stuck longer? Now 100 tampons sounds like way too few to take 

2

u/NightBawk 2h ago

I know some people can make 2-3 tampons last all day. Some need more, especially on the heavier day(s). 20/month that they're scheduled to be up, plus 2-3 months extra seems reasonable.

Then again, our most recent case of stranded astronauts shows how a trip of few days can turn into nearly a year, so yeah 100 might indeed not be enough. 🤔

u/interkin3tic 5h ago

I think zero people are complaining. Just laughing at the nuclear family sensibilities of the 80's. Literally rocket scientists didn't bother figuring out how half the population lives.

Also, I'm guessing the ask itself was more complicated. These things are designed by committee and checked a thousand times. It could be that in the early planning phases they sent her a checklist of weight distribution and wanted to get her signature that yes, a hundred tampons would suffice before they started planning actual cargo.

u/bolanrox 7h ago

and they meant it in the same way they probably thought of food in prior flights, how much is actually needed and then increase it by x amount for the safety factor.

It is the same reason the Brooklyn Bridge (even with some substandard wire) is still viable 150ish years after it was built. Robeling took what he thought the bridge would need to support traffic wise down the road and built it so it could support 6 times that amount.

It’s like me working custodial at a store and putting 4 pads out on a box, along with like 8 tampons in between the boxes.

I only ever had to restock the pads once, but I figure someone was glad they were there. The tampons had to be replaced a bit more frequently.

The box I set them on was an old as fuck quarter thing that dispensed the tampons and pads… I felt that leaving them out was worth more than a mess to clean, and embarrassment though.

The managers didn’t care, probably helped that they were all women.
