Survivor has very clear rules about what castaways are allowed and not allowed to bring with them on the island, but that doesn’t mean players don’t still smuggle in contraband. The most common way to try and get stuff in is by sewing prohibited items into the lining of clothing, but apparently, at least one contestant used tampons to successfully break the rules.
Survivor legend Francesca Hogi, the only castaway in the history of the show to be voted out first on two different occasions, revealed this week that her scheme to sneak in floss and allergy pills was a big success. Both of those items are prohibited, but in a sneaky move, she hid them inside of tampons and then resealed the wrappers. It worked like a charm, except that for months after she got voted out, she kept opening tampons and discovering they were the ones she had previously doctored.
