Barbara Meyer (Author), Lori Katz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1995 | ISBN-10: 0964190702 | ISBN-13: 978-0964190702 | Edition: 1st

Co-authors Lori Katz and Barbara Meyer have been using tampons for over a decade and consider themselves to be experts in tampon usage. This personal experience, combined with their toy design backgrounds, have led them to craft the first true bathroom book for women.

This irreverent activity book draws our attention to what is perhaps the most intimate and overlooked object we come in contact with: the tampon applicator.

101 creative ideas are cleverly illustrated and grouped into category headings ranging from fashion accessories to car detailing. In chapter 8, learn how you can make a lovely wreath using nothing more than tampon applicators and household items. For a bigger challenge try your hand at constructing a scale model of the Starship Enterprise! Zen Garden, Foozball Replacement Player, Groovy Doorway Beads and many other funny ideas make this the perfect gift for anyone with a sense of humor.

101 SUPER USES FOR TAMPON APPLICATORS is a witty and creative look at a subject that is often taboo - but is really funny!

Review

WORLD ON A STRING - The new book 101 Super Uses For Tampon Applicators(High Stress Press) has a long cotton string in its binding. Among the book's more stimulating ideas are ways to use applicators to build a type of Zen-garden-meets-Stonehenge, or as modern Chinese finger traps. In sum, the book is a smooth, painless read that is fully functional, yet kind of naughty. -- PLAYBOY April '98

5.0 out of 5 stars 101 SU 4 TA's gives you more than a string of laughs., June 20, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Super Uses for Tampon Applicators : A Helpful Guide for the Environmentally Conscious Consumer of Feminine Hygiene Products (Paperback)

101 SU 4 TA's is both inspirational and humorous. Meyers and Katz have delivered a product that can stimulate creative thinking in a variety of settings. Just imagine how you can attack your problems knowing that M & K were able to solve 101 problems with just one device. The mothers of Meyers and Katz should be proud
