The left one goes into the left ovary, the right into the right ovary. S is for "straight ahead".

Omg it all makes sense now

Left pussy and right pussy. Depending on which one is your dominant pussy that you period from.

[–] four@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So its like with nostrils, that at any given moment you have one that is more open and it switches every so often?

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

There is a lot of yoga about these.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 38 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's obviously about the political spectrum. They have tampons for left wing pussies and for right wing cunts.

Its for when lesbians try to beat the period level on co-op, so they know which side of the screen they get. "S" is for single player.

Seriously, I wanna know. Is it size? Or… flow?

[–] Doom@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago

Tampons wick away fluid, it's their primary purpose. Vaginas are never meant to be dry. If you wear a tampon that is designed to wick away a lot of moisture on a low flow day it will dry you out which may cause an infection and lead to toxic shock syndrome - TSS. The L is low, R is regular, but higher ones exists. The goal is to use the lowest absorbancy necessary.

This page has a pretty good article about it.

[–] recentSlinky@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I assume it's for Large, Regular, Small

[–] erin@piefed.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

S is for Super, not small. Light, regular, super, etc. It's for flow, not for size.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I always found "super" pretty funny.
"So how's your period flow?"
"Super!"
Kinda expect the next option to be "magnificent", "über" or something like that.

[–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it an american thing? Pretty sure in Australia it's "heavy".

Super would be weird, as you say.

[–] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Super absorbancy or something along those lines.

It explains the absorber rather than the flow. I've mostly stared at pads my life, but it's the same wording

Just for context I'm Danish, so it's not just an American thing

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love people coming in, apparently with no knowledge, and giving an incorrect answer. This wouldn't even have been hard to look up, but you just couldn't help but assume you were correct, just like the person in the OP.

[–] Varesti@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's more fun to see people's creative answers and get a good chuckle.

It's good we have you here. Your ability to use context clues really came in clutch.

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I kind of needed it cause i never hear "regular" as a size, only "medium", so i was hung up on the R

[–] erin@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

It is incorrect. Light, regular, super, not large, regular, small.

it's about the flow. L stands for Light, R is Regular

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] NullPointerException@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don’t know if those things have size… length? Girth? Both?

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (10 children)

There are different sizes but they are rated by how much they can absorb, L is light flow, R regular. So it's not really about the size, they'll expand anyways when they soak up the discharge

Okay, serious answer here. Please don't believe these other jokers (except for the ones who posted the serious and sensible links.)

Here's how it goes.Not getting into the actual mechanics of how periods work, the system is pretty simple. It's "Light, Regular, and Super".

Most period-havers I know typically have a light flow on their first day as a little warning that the next two or three days (or seven, if you're a REALLY lucky genetic lottery winner) are gonna be basically Noah's First Plague.

After the really rough part of the downpour has dried out, you're supposed to downshift from Super to Regular, then down to Light or just use pantiliners until the bleeding stops.

Most folks use Supers or pads at night, or if they're planning on doing something where bathroom breaks aren't guaranteed, like long road trips or theater performances. Never leave one in for longer than 8 hours. You have a slight risk of developing something called Toxic Shock Syndrome where a sudden explosion of bacterial growth can send you on a potentially one-way trip to the ER. (Not very likely, literally 1 in 1000 odds. But 0 sounds pretty good to me, so I never leave them in for too long.

Size does NOT matter here, capacity does. And so does application. Every tampon will absorb moisture, but if you put in a Super on a Light day, it can lead to some seriously uncomfortable dryness. Everyone has their own preference for brands and type, since some may have ingredients (like fragrances or residual cotton pesticides or certain kinds of plastic) they're allergic to. Or, y'know, boycotting Unilever or Procter & Gambel is also pretty based.

If you're asked to pick up a box, the person issuing the fetch quest will make those specifications for you. If you wanna score extra points on the quest reward, ask them if they want Midol too. It's usually in the pharmacy section, roughly in the same area as Aleve and Tylenol.

Hope that clears it up.

It's thread type. One is screwed clockwise, the other counterclockwise

One goes in the left hole one goes in the right hole... Obviously.

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago

It's an American thing. Liberal and Republican, obviously.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Oh it's about which hand you use to insert them - like left handed vs right handed scissors!

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 8 points 1 week ago

Left and right fallopian tubes.

It's her preference. Limp or Rigid.

Obviously it's for Lease or Rental

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Fun fact: The L and the R don't actually mean "Large" and "regular". they stand for "Lotta Blood" and "REALLY lotta blood". So it's reversed. Gotta be careful about that.
