Sometimes, a single doctor’s appointment can completely change your perspective on products you consider essential. TikToker Sydney Adams (sydney.adams29) recently shared one such experience on TikTok, racking up over 1.6 million views in less than 24 hours. The Texas resident went in to see her gynecologist because she was dealing with intense, persistent pain and heavy bleeding. What she left with was a warning about the tampons she uses.
In the video, Sydney explained her symptoms, saying, “My period has been absolutely f**king disgusting. I’m bleeding non-stop. My cramps are literally like I’m being stabbed.” After her mom urged her to get checked out, she finally booked an appointment. She then claimed that her doctor came in, just took one look at her and immediately headed toward the door. Then he allegedly asked, “What type of tampons do you use?” She told him she used Tampax.
