Cool

Last week I attended an investment analyst conference hosted by a well-known publicly-traded consumer products company whose largest line of business is ... tampons.

I wasn't the only guy there. Plenty of portfolio managers and analysts were guys. The CEO and CFO of the company are guys.

They were passing out a lot of free samples. I had a nice chat with the global head of tampons, and she told me all the wonderful dynamics of the market, including a treatise on why plastic applicators were gradually overtaking the cardboard segment, and why Tampax Pearl was taking market share away from their company. I got a goodie bag full of feminine hygiene product to give away at the office (you wouldn't believe how many requests I got for freebies).

Anyhoo, I had lunch with the head of R&D at said company. He told me that tampons are "Class II" medical devices regulated by the FDA.

I think if you pour some tabasco on a tampon which will be in contact with bleeding raw irritated tissue, you might be tampering with a medical device.

I think it would be better if you put some itching powder in the crotch of her panties instead. Better than a felony conviction.
