Okay, obviously this product is for women, so all you guys who turn into prepubescent, snickering, pre-teen boys at the mention of a women's mentstrual cycle, move on. But for those of you who want to make a fortune on a product that will fly off the shelves, and will be in need as long as women walk the earth, and all you have to do is a slight alteration on an existing product, then listen up. Can't someone come up with a tampon that the string changes color according to the absorbancy remaining. For example, along the lines of litmus paper, where maybe the string starts out light blue, and gradually gets darker depending on how much absorbancy is left. This will prevent those embarassing "accidents" from occurring, and at the other extreme, eliminate the quess work of is it or is it not time for a change. I know I would buy this product.

Another possibility is an electronic warning. A beeper signal indicating that the string is wet and therefor can conduct an electric signal might be possible. Of course it should be discreet enough not to be embarrassing. This would eliminate the necessity of a visual examination which might not be convenient.
Or they could just stay in the kitchen. *snicker*
Oh no, that's mean.
