Gives you wings?

August 30th, 2010

A gift basket

I have had the Death Flu of DEATH over the past week, and having my period has made it that much worse. Every time I cough or sneeze or blow my nose, my tampon has shifted around inside me. It’s not like I have a particularly capacious vagina or anything either – as far as I’m aware, anyway. It’s just a sucky part of life.

Another sucky part about having your period? Feeling continually damp. Sure, you’ve got a tampon in to catch the blood and most of the chunks, but yet there’s still “liquid” that escapes. I’m using the very euphemistic term from the accompanying literature because damned if I know what it actually is. It doesn’t seem to be blood. It’s not lady selflubrication. It’s just there and wet and if you wear all cotton underpants they stay wet all day and it’s not comfortable.  But Carefree Flexia think that they can change that for me.

“CAREFREE® Flexia® tampons are the first and only tampons designed with SOFTFOLDS® flexible wings that catch the fluid other tampons may miss. These wings draw the fluid to the inner core of the tampon helping to prevent leakage from the base.”

When they offered to send me out a gift parcel to try the tampons, along with some bath soak and chocolates, of course I said yes. Will the tampons leave me feeling dry? Confident? Carefree? Will I totally be jetskiing around in white togs if I use them? Stay tuned to find out!

Remember – you’re never going to get a promotion without a fresh vag. So do what you gotta to get ahead!

A little bit of free stuff at Kirks

Kirkcaldie and Stains here in Welly have a (new?) beauty brochure called Grace (click here for the pdf version). I have perused the pages (so you don’t have to) and found a few little freebies in there.

  • Page 4: Voucher for a free 10 sample of City Block spf 25 when you get a Clinique Safe Sun consultation in November.
  • Page 11: Free microdermabrasion when you buy from the Elizabeth Arden Prevage range.
  • Page 13: A coupon for a Sisley sample kit (present coupon at counter).
  • Page 19: Free samples from Frances at the Dr Hauschka counter.

Let me know if you find any other specials in the brochure or know of any in store.
