You obviously assume too much. Did you personally use a tampon in the military? Do you personally know someone who actually used a tampon in the military?
You see, it was a military person that first told me about what he heard about tampons. It was an Army physician that proved to me it was wrong.
Tampons are not sterile. You can buy sterile tampons, but the otc tampons (kotex, tampax, playtex) are not, do not claim to be, and are not packaged stating they are sterile. Aseptic, sure, sterile? No. They are packaged in a factory, not a laboratory.
Even if you used a sterile tampon, they would most definitely not work in saving a life. You are really saying a 1/2" tampon is going to fit inside a less than 1/4" hole? Ridiculous.
DO NOT SLOW THE BLEEDING.
STOP! THE BLEEDING.
STOP! THE BLEEDING.
STOP! THE BLEEDING.
Tampons do neither of those things.
