Woman Finds Curious Way to Use a Tampon to Check If Her Boyfriend Is Cheating

A curious woman has gone viral on TikTok after posting a video revealing the extreme lengths she went to uncover whether her beloved boyfriend was cheating. Her investigation was triggered by the discovery of an unfamiliar tampon in his room, leading to a clever — and controversial — solution that left viewers divided, with many debating whether she was a “genius or a psycho.”

It all began with a discovery that appeared innocent at first.

Meet Lois, a young woman from the UK whose impressive investigative skills have captured widespread attention online, earning her comparisons to the legendary Sherlock Holmes.

Lois recounted her story, describing her first stay at her boyfriend’s university house. During the visit, she discovered a tampon and a mascara carefully tucked away under his wardrobe. The find came about unexpectedly, as Lois leaned back playfully while sitting on her boyfriend’s lap, spotting the seemingly innocuous items.

In her video, Lois detailed the conversation she had with her boyfriend regarding the mysterious belongings. He adamantly denied any knowledge of their origin and suggested they might have belonged to the previous occupant of the room.

Expressing her unease, Lois quipped, “When you find a tampon and mascara under your boyfriend’s wardrobe, and they deny everything, you have to investigate yourself.” It was at this juncture that a brilliant plan began to form in her mind.

Lois chose to take a more strategic approach rather than causing a scene.

In her video, Lois meticulously documented her investigation. “There’s a tampon and a mascara under Finn’s wardrobe, and he’s in denial that he’s had a girl here,” she narrated.

“I’m not even joking it’s right there. There’s not enough dust on it to be old,” she emphasized while reaching under the wardrobe to retrieve the items.

Determined to get to the bottom of things, Lois took the initiative to contact Tampax to find out the production date of the mysterious tampon. Channeling her inner Sherlock Holmes, she used the tampon’s serial number to gather crucial information, helping her reconstruct the timeline of her relationship.

She soon received a reply from an employee named Grace, who revealed that the tampon had been manufactured on December 11, 2019 — comfortingly, well before her relationship with her boyfriend had begun.

The reaction from the netizens was highly controversial.

The video has garnered over 4.3 million views, sparking a range of reactions. Many viewers commended her ingenious determination in unraveling the mystery surrounding the tampon. One woman couldn’t help but wonder, “I’m not sure if this is genius or borderline psycho,” while another enthusiastically exclaimed, “This is amazing.”

Some also pointed out that the evidence of her boyfriend’s innocence was rather circumstantial, noting, “Oh dear. Obviously, she didn’t think that just because it was manufactured before he moved in doesn’t mean it’s been there since before he moved in!” Another person agreed, adding, “Manufacturing date has nothing to do with when it was actually sold.”

Someone also chimed in, asking, “Why is everyone taking this, so seriously it’s actually very, very funny.”

A 29-year-old woman recently took to Reddit to share how a few tampons unexpectedly became the catalyst for the collapse of her once-happy marriage.
