The Taser Disguised as a Tampon

a taser tampon




I have already chronicled the tampon blowgun, but now meet the Pink Stinger a discreet taser that packs a whopping 50,000 volts of electricity. Once a criminal gets shocked by this device, he'll be seeing red — I assure you that.

When shooting in Taser mode, 2 extra absorbent cotton tampons with barbed probes and 14 ft. of wire are expelled and propelled by compressed nitrogen. Electric current then passes to the body, where the probes have attach to the clothing or bare skin, causing central nervous system disruption, possible urination and certain humiliation. Optimal target range for the taser is 7-10 feet with a maximum of 14 feet. Absorbency range of tampon is 6-9 grams. The included batteries and compressed nitrogen cartridge store neatly in the pink zapplicator casing for easy replacement.

The question that is burning in my mind is: what if a woman mistakes this for an actual tampon? I cannot fathom a worse outcome than to be zapped in the lady parts. I'm not joking — if this device reaches mass consumption, it is only a matter of time before the scenario I point out actually happens. It will make headlines.

Ladies, I'd love to know your opinion. Would you ever buy the Pink Stinger? And do you genuinely fear 50,000 volts of a electricity due to a mistaken insertion?

Well, I'm pretty sure a girl wouldn't mistake that for a real tampon and put it in...it looks like two tampons stuck together and you only need one in at a time. XD

Also, I personally wouldn't buy one because I'm clumsy as hell and would probably end up shocking myself on accident when i rummage through my purse or something.
