Fair cop, my dad did cut the string off the tampon when he shoved it up his nose as he felt to ridiculous with it dangling down his face, I thought it would give the story a bit more and lollability to give the mental image of the water travelling up the string like the fuse on a cartoon bomb. It was actually the bottom of the tampon that dunked in the water, but never let the facts get in the way of a good yarn, as they say.

I love that you actually went and got a tampon and tested this though :D I had no idea the fallibility of qotw answers were tested this thorougly!
