tampons/rags for wicking material?

[BD1]

Just throwing this out there....

I see them adverts on TV showing tampons and such girly products sucking up blue liquid faster than george best sucked up beer.

Wonder if we cut apart a tampon, would it be any good in a coil?

Who's going to be the first brave bloke to go in boots and walk up to the counter and slap down a pack of jam rolls on the counter?

As a woman i would say "thats so wrong"

I'm not an expert in womens sanitary products, but id imagine they'd have some form of crystal based absorption :-/

I could be totally wrong, but stick with the standard cotton / silica / muji wicks

The other thread went into all the specs of tampons

Dunno whether to be proud or worried...

I took apart a Sharpie marker (new...my mistake) and spent a few hours rinsing the fluff of ink...that stuff is without a doubt the best for our uses.

Except it burns for no reason. Once I had made a wick it pretty much just ashed itself on first firing...but we should keep looking..someone found cotton..someone will find the successor.

But it isnt the stuff inside a Sharpie, absorbs like crazy, holds tons of liquid..but burns
