Is it reasonable for my mom to take away tampons because I use a lot during my period?

Question

i use about a box to half a box of tampons during every period, about the average girl as i looked up, my mom uses less than me and says i use too much. So she took them away and wont buy them for me anymore. I'm a teenager and don't have a job so cant buy them my self and think it very unreasonable. Opinions

Answer

Yes, it is highly unreasonable. Depending on how much money you guys have and the price of tampons, then it is arguable. Just make sure to change your tampon every 8 hours to avoid toxic shock syndrome. Good luck!

Answer

It depends on the circumstances. If you use regular tampons, try getting her to buy super tampons etc. She might think you use too much because she may have a shorter period than you. Even though this may be a bit gross, prove to her why you need the amount you do.
