"I was complaining to my boyfriend about some Kotex tampons I had used and on a whim I decided to go to the website and leave a review so other people who might get them would know better. I went to submit, only to receive the words: 'Your review text contains inappropriate language.' I was confused at first, I mean I was pretty emphatic, but I didn't cuss at al ... and then I realized I had typed the word 'vagina.' You can't type the word 'vagina' on a TAMPON review because it's considered inappropriate. Kotex, a company that makes over a billion dollars a year primarily selling products to people with vaginas, thinks that someone typing the word 'vagina' in a review of a product that goes in their vagina is being inappropriate and needs to be censored. I retyped 'v*gina' with an asterisk like it was a swear word, submitted and it went to preview mode with no problem. But I'm still kind of in shock ... Honestly, what is wrong with Kotex that they think they need to protect tampon users from the word 'vagina'? If you think think our society's fear of the vagina was absurd, here you go. It's cartoonish." - Unknown
