Isnt it so weird here - I mean you have to get a mortgage and stockpile women's sanitary items because they only come in 10s and then fags come in packs big enough to last a navy ship - I dont get it

Wine comes in big boxes though - and it's cheap as chips.

What else matters?

The tampons are garbage anyway, better off getting them posted from the UK I shipped loads of tampax over last year, beat the Aussie stuff anyday. And the fags thing is just hypocritical (in my opinion ) The Govt keeps telling people to give up - but still sells fags in huge boxes

Ems and I are going to open a wholesale chemist account for the shop anyways and buy crates!

Are they different then, hadnt even considered that aspect - until I came to australia I took the pill round and round from 16 to 30 so never really got into that scene

I manage very well with the tampons here. Buy the ones with the floaty wing things attached.

I agree with scottishcelts, tampons here are not that bad. I did find tampax which to me seemed exactly the same as in the UK, but they are pricey so I just buy the fidly little things.

I don't have to worry about either...gave them both up a couple of years back

Except for wine. Didn't give that up!
