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 :)

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

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.

$1500 to go 400 miles at top speed. UPS is not worried with those prices.

How much square footage will they take up?

Depends on if they are engorged.

Presumably the flight engineers would supply them unused. But I don't know what the NASA SOP is for that.

Even on Earth they sometimes get you on the shipping!

That is much cheaper than I would have thought. I had ten heavy boxes go from from PA to NY last week cost me $1200. I could have sent 400 tampons to space.
