quicko: girl stuff

So you have to go to a drugstore (aka chemist's) if you want to get a tampon with an applicator, and the plastic ones don't even exist, unless you've been smart and stocked up on Kotex while you were home.

While Australian girls don't seem to mind the lack of applicators, what it means in actual practice, alas, is (without getting too graphic about it), you've basically got to wash your hands before and after you go to the bathroom ... which is a bit excessive, to my way of thinking. At least I'm good and stocked up on the Purell, too.
