I remember when travelling all through South America, you'd always have to search for the tiny selection of tampons in a sea of pads, and they'd only be non-applicator ones. I stuck to using those when I left Argentina as the applicators seemed so wasteful but if I ever stop and look at the choice available it is a bit overwhelming! I'd always tell anyone visiting who might possibly find they needed such things during their visits to bring their own as you never imagine it would be such a difficult thing to find...

A great idea - for many, many reasons - for most (all? Just covering myself in case of freak exception) who would use tampons instead of pads anyway. The fact that there is a 'made in Argentina' brand is super encouraging, makes me hopeful that there won't be a shortage of these as well!

I'm a blokette but even that grossed me out. Many Argentine women don't like using tampons and the low demand might be the reason for the lack of them in the pharmacies. I only like to use them when I'm playing sports. Believe it or not many of my Argie friends use pads or even cotton rather than tampons.

That is the most bizarre product I have seen in my life! I am genuinely scared now!

I have used a different version of the moon cup for 15 years now - so much easier to use than the other options, and so much better for the environment. Interestingly, my Argentine sister-in-law asked me to bring her a moon cup from the US, and one for her sister as well. It never occurred to me that this could be related to a tampon shortage, but after reading this thread, it makes sense. Maybe younger Argentines are more open to alternatives to pads than they used to be?
