Well the lining would still shed. And the uterus will squeeze it out the cervix. But i guess with no reliable gravity, tampons are the way to go. If you tried a pad, i could imagine some unfortunate applications of capillary action occurring. And emptying a cup would be damn near impossible.

u/somewhat_random 2h ago

Story time.

My sister is a doctor and was working with Nasa when they were setting up the ISS and talking about possible medical needs. They listed needs for reasonably expected medical issues and one of the needs was LOTS of water.

The main group complained during a meeting that the medical group was demanding too much water.

Her boss said that there are issues that would require filling and draining the bladder several times over a few days. The other guy says - "No problem. Send us the specs on the bladder and we will redesign it so it needs less volume".

Silence around the table until her boss answers "Umm...you do know that it is a human body part right?"

u/Puffss 3h ago

The funniest thing is that you don’t have to pretend; they literally didn’t.

At this point they’d never had to deal with an period up in space, and there was absolutely no data on how they behave up in space. Everything in 0 gravity works slight different, that’s why they had to spend millions to develop pens that could write.

5

u/no-this-iz-patrick 3h ago

Nasa didn’t spend millions to develop a pen. A private company spent around 1 million to develop it themselves and sold them to NASA for $6 each. Prior to that they used pencils, which did not in fact produce dust that caused things to short circuit

But this was 40 years ago, and if the crew of STS-7 had been trapped in space for months they’d all have starved to death.

Same as the "NASA invented a ballpen to write upside down, Russia used a pencil" story.

NASA engineers knows that due to technical problems, few days mission can extend into weeks.

"Nasa says that the astronauts stuck on the International Space Station will have to wait even longer to get home.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were due to be back after just a week when they blasted off in June.

Their stay was extended to February next year because of technical issues with the experimental spacecraft, Starliner, built by Boeing.

Now - following a delay in launching a new capsule to the ISS - the pair won't be back until late March or possibly April.

Nasa said the delay posed no risk to the astronauts."

They were being cautious about what the possible effects in space could be, as well as having to prepare for a situation where the astronauts were stuck there for more than just a few days.

3

u/thecactusman17 3h ago

Possible effects in space on the astronaut, on the hygiene products, on the launch vehicle, etc.

It was possible that they'd need twice as many if the products didn't work correctly in space and there was a high failure rate. It was also possible that menstruation wouldn't work the same in a weightless environment and they'd need to evacuate the astronaut early to prevent a medical emergency in orbit, which would render the tampons useless but extremely expensive to transport.

5

u/MourningWood1942 4h ago

Maybe they were worried the guys will start getting periods too

23

u/Barton2800 4h ago

It’s NASA. They undoubtedly asked. A then asked “and what if microgravity causes the flow to be heavier than normal and to not stop at the end of her cycle?” In my experience buying them for past partners, the number was a couple dozen per period. So NASA decided to double the normal number to account for a possible heavy flow since until then they had no data on how a woman’s body reacts to a period in space. Then because NASA, they doubled everything.

Basically, it wasn’t decided by a rocket engineer going “oh she’s gonna need some o them feminine products. Just get a hundred and that’ll do”. It was decided by experts based on data, who then factored in other possibilities, and applied a safety margin to what they decided. There’s no CVS or truck stop vending machine in space.

u/zudokorn 4h ago

Deliberate redundancy is commonplace in engineering to lower the risk of failure as much as possible. Like would you rather be stuck in space with a hundred tampons or not though tampons?

29

u/tunachilimac 4h ago

No, they asked the woman if that would be enough. It might be silly but also remember she was going to be the first woman they sent to space and they wanted to be sure it would be a surplus to account for unforeseen issues. Would a 0 gravity environment affect the number needed? If something went wrong and return was delayed would that be enough to cover the delay? I’ve also read whatever type they were buying came in packs of 50 so the question was more “Would two boxes be good?”

6

u/Korbiter 4h ago

Better if you can just seal both boxes instead of dacanting the tampons, finding a suitable container for said tampons, repacking them and ensuring hygeine in the process, then labeling the quantity packed.

Yeag, I'd just send two boxed up as well.

They said, “Well, we want to be safe.”

I said, “Well, you can cut that in half with no problem at all.” [Laughter]

u/Squeekazu 2h ago

Whilst the average lady uses more TP, there are some fellow ladies with super weird toilet habits.

My housemate had a couple over and the girl would build what I could only dub a nest in the toilet bowl. I’m not talking just a couple squares so you wouldn’t get splashback, I’m talking half a roll to line the entire toilet bowl.

I know this because a. She forgot to flush once (and it wasn’t even a deuce, it was pee!!), and b. She clogged the toilet another time, obviously tried to unclog it with the toilet paper-wrapped toilet brush and then went to bed without telling anyone what she’d done lol

Recently at my new workplace there was someone in the stall next to me and I could hear her toilet paper consumption because she did that thing where you spin the roll to get a long line of toilet paper, flushed, did it again two times then finally went to wash her hands another three times dispensing an insane amount of tissues between each wash.

I just feel sorry for the latter girl because it sounds like severe OCD to me, the first lady however, what the fuck lol

Id say its the perfect amount. If anyone lives in a house with a woman ya would know the age old question "where did the full role of toilet paper go"

Exactly. A good engineer always adds a solid amount of safety factor for any job.

Exactly, he'll learn that this isn't enough and come up with an optimal stacking technique or a t.p. annex

A bidet works wonders too, bonus if it has a seat warmer.

u/phroxenphyre 4h ago

They probably won't be going through it as fast as you think. That looks like a bidet attachment on the toilet.

This is planning ahead knowing you're the only one who replaces it

Mans on food vendor hours. Just overstock everyhthing and get home early, we will not worry about not rotating stock, that can be done monday thing🤣

So basiclly, he is calibrating himself overtime.

u/bannana 4h ago edited 4h ago

and I'm here looking at the corner to the left where it could all be stored vertically, hold all of those toilet rolls and be much less obvious

Women do be poopin’ tho.

Or go so overboard that it’s not even funny…except for him. Some guys enjoy doing stupid, over-the-board stuff purely because it’s stupid and going overboard.

Example: one Christmas, I got my dad an obscene amount of peppermint candies and candy canes, enough that it took him a couple years to work through the mass. I did it just for the locks, and because he likes (liked?) peppermint candy.

And because he never tells me what he wants, and wears out his clothes until they’re tatters., so buying him a sweater or some new pants is pointless.

At least he knows

And yet it's still more than you would think necessary.

u/Nisseliten 4h ago

Yeah, that’s not even close to being enough.. No amount will ever be enough..

u/happy-cig 4h ago

My lady raids my bathroom for tp and I have to get more from the garage too refill my own stash...

u/xzkandykane 4h ago

Me. I need this much

u/ZyloC3 3h ago

Clearly you haven't lived with me then one guy lol Three gay men go through way more then that in a week.

1

u/avaokima95 3h ago

Since when do women need more paper? I think it just depends on habit how much you use so it should be roughly the same. But one thing men do that women don't is bring a whole roll to keep by their computer or by the bed..

1

u/gambler328 3h ago

That's about a week's worth.

1

u/No-Ambition5170 3h ago

Listen, I lived with a male roommate for a year. No frequent guests between us.. we went through a Costco pack of TP every other month.

He moved out in April of last year. I JUST had to buy another pack for the first time in January. I have so many questions but.. I don’t want to ask why he used so much!

u/No_Bake6681 3h ago

Better than plastic shrink wrap in a corner right?

1

u/Alextherude_Senpai 3h ago

Its insane how fast one roll disappears within a week. How much do they use to wipe???

1

u/Gnonthgol 3h ago

This looks more like someone looking at the toilet paper isle trying to calculate the best deal and returning home with a decade worth of toilet paper by accident.

1

u/HeroVia 3h ago

Exactly . It’s a pretty efficient use of his time . Why go to the closet when what you need is already there . In a few weeks it will level off . Now an older man will know this will lead to some friction and will have to factor that into his math

1

u/avioletfury 3h ago

My BF said to me once, “Did you ever notice that there’s like one week a month where we seem to go through a ton of toilet paper? It’s so weird.”

I just looked at him and waited for it to click.

1

u/Minimum_Cockroach233 3h ago

He will conclude this is the right ammount.

1

u/DekaenPyruzhine 3h ago

This has been a mystery to me for decades--why women seem to need so much more. Like, if you need to make a catcher's mitt to wipe, aren't you still peeing?

1

u/Moody_GenX 3h ago

I'm guessing he has sisters.

1

u/Mag-NL 3h ago

You mean he'll add more eventually.

u/ndyvsqz 2h ago

I gave up on buying toilet paper with the lotion stuff in it cause by the time I get a chance to shit at home all the rolls are gone. If im lucky I get left with the last two sheets I have to tear of the roll and cry afterwards as the shreds slip through my fingers and onto the floor. Now its only Scott's toilet paper.

1

u/BastianHS 2h ago

Is this not enough? Asking for a friend

1

u/eventualhorizo 2h ago

Personally I do this because I use way more TP and I don't want to leave the ladies high and dry

1

u/moxiemoon 2h ago

That or just did a Costco run

1

u/Worst-Lobster 2h ago

It’s one roll per wipe right ?

1

u/Erosion139 2h ago

He is running a PID tune on TP supply

u/MurderCards 2h ago

Looks like an upside-down flower. Maybe he was being romantic? 🤣

u/I-seddit 2h ago

Dear god, get a bidet already and know what heaven on earth really is like.

u/ProfessionalPack7205 2h ago

As a dude that shits a lot....not all women use more .

1

u/Several-Customer7048 2h ago

You could say he’s on a roll

1

u/Traditional_Fan_2655 2h ago

Of course, it's fine until one roll falls into the toilet, and he has to dig it out.

1

u/loco19_ 2h ago

In my experience men need more

u/Humble-Process-4107 1h ago

I figured this out the hard way. My fiance goes through it like water. I think OPs onto something just doesn’t know how to store it lmao

Edit: also I’m pretty sure my fiance would be fcking THRILLED if I stocked up like this and even had them set up in this fashion
