Let Me Tell You A Very Bizarre Rumour Of Getting Intoxicated

What is the rumor?

As crazy and as dangerous as it sounds, a rumor has been going around these days that teenagers nowadays soak vodka in the tampons to get intoxicated and get high into their vagina or rectum. This process is also known as slimming. 

A tampon’s job is to absorb liquid. A tampon may not hold a lot of vodkas, but because it avoids your stomach, what it does contain goes into your bloodstream rapidly. Because it isn’t absorbed by your stomach, you won’t be able to vomit it up if you consume too much.

Why do they do it?

For a variety of reasons, teenagers these days are getting intoxicated and high in this manner, including:

• Get buzzed more quickly
• Prevent having an alcoholic odour on their breath
• To pass a breathalyser test
• Avoid absorbing any calories from the drink 
• Staying away from a hangover

Effects of soaked vodka on health

The following are some of the most common effects of using vodka on tampons:

• Bleeding in the genital area
• A scorching sensation in the back of your neck
• Cramping
• Tenesmus – a feeling that you need to have bowel movement when you don’t. 
• Damaging of the sexual organ.
• Tampons soaked in vodka can cause vaginal ulcers.

Explanation given by medical science 

The genital area is a delicate organ, and exposing it to harsh chemicals could be harmful. When vodka comes into contact with the blood veins or the membranes, the skin becomes irritated, and the tissues begin to break down. This may cause harm to the sexual organ. According to the research done by medical science, vodka is more effective when injected through other regions of the body other than the stomach. This is due to the fact that the stomach is designed to decrease the effects of vodka.

In terms of medicine, putting vodka into the bloodstream through any means other than oral consumption would cause the vodka to reach the bloodstream faster and the effects of intoxication to occur sooner in the vodka soaked tampon.
