dedkad 127 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Wonder if the Scouts would go for this. Sure would get a laugh. Might be better for Venturers. ~~http://www.realfarmacy.com/10-survival-tips-using-tampons/ Link to post Share on other sites

resqman 108 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Probably gets lots of giggles and comments but as an exercise in "lateral thinking" it would be good. Link to post Share on other sites

Torchwood 177 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 On our camping trip this past weekend, one of the boys in my son's Patrol had a bloody nose, and asked for a tissue. I keep tampons in my first aid kit for that very purpose. Some of the boys gave him a bit of a ribbing until I explained why it was better than a tissue- it puts pressure on the bleed from inside, is much more absorbent and doesn't stick to the clot.

gsdad 59 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 As a parent of two daugters, leader in an all girls crew, and softball coach, I keep a few in my daypack. They are great for stopping bleeding of all types. My wrestling coach used them for bloody noses. Link to post Share on other sites
