I probably would say "It's a tampon" and I'd say something about it being a personal thing that mommy needs and that it isn't for him to play with and hope that he didn't ask any more questions.
LOL @littlemermaid funny enough he asked daddy one day I wasn't home. Then next thing I know I'm being interrogated by a 4 year old, demanding an answer.
"it's a tampon." "it's for mommy" "don't worry about it..." "here, have a cookie." Dawg, I felt like a snickers 'Need a minute' commercial.
DH got the middle finger
The biggest kicker is I have an IUD and don't even use tampons! I should've just said, "it's garbage" and thrown it away.
@fredalina I am MEGA careful about handling that business behind a locked door because DS1 is obsessed with "boo boos" and band aids and shit. I can just imagine him going into school telling everyone that I had a boo boo and needed a band aid because he saw blood in my underwear.
Similarly horrifying - he once saw me going to the bathroom when he was about 1.5, pointed at my privates (I have brown hair - the carpet matches the drapes) and said "Poop!" I about died.
My 2.5 yr old niece picked up a tampon, assumed the stance and put it between her legs (fully clothed). It was funny but then not funny. Clearly my sis doesn't shut the bathroom door.

My sister had a friend who had to take her three year old to the ER because she shoved one in.

Ds pointed to mine and said "bum!" I was shaved clean at the time.

Re: How to answer 4yo DS?
"It's something for mommy. Want to go read a book?"
I'd tell him to go ask his father. LOL!! j/k.
That is horrifying!
