    I carry around a few tampons, as a cis man.
    Part of my “be prepared” strategy cause you never know what life throws at you.
    On one hand, tampons are perfect kindling for starting a fire in an emergency - a wad of cotton in a water-proof hull.
    But in reality, it was useful a few times already, to help a female friend out.
    Or pull one apart to improvise ear plugs when a concert turns out to be way too loud.

      I’ve carried a couple of tampons and pads in my car for years, just because sometimes I can save the day for someone. I never thought about using them for earplugs though, that’s a good one.
