The stone age of the Turkish vaginas

I was puzzled to discover that the world of tampons is almost unexplored in Turkey.  
It's like a taboo subject here. 
I remember 10 years ago it was impossible to find tampons in Turkey. And since then, little has been done about that. Rarely, the only tampons you are able to find, are the mini version of the ob brand (those are hideous because they are without an applicator so you have to slide inside your vagina with a finger, that is if your vagina is lubricated enough, and in addition to that, it's an ideal way to get a vaginal infection.


I ask myself where are the wonderful Tampax tampons, with their large variety in sizes and degrees of absortion, sliding paper or plastic applicators, multi-coloured wrappers in different cases and number of units. 

They are not for sale in Turkey. I wonder what's the reason. Does it have something to do with the virginity of turkish women? No idea, but is very strange that tampons are not widely sold in a country that is trying so hard to emulate modernity in every possible technology gadget.

I could get rich by importing the whole Tampax brand, and some other products for
women that modern life has, and free Turkish women of the stone age in which their vaginas are living right now.

    Just as Kaan once being obsessed with selling sucuk in Spain *g* Do it, seriously! You could set up an online shop for tampons and hit millions.
