    Agreed.  That was pretty much the consensus with the replies too.  

    And, really, unless you're using one of those diva cup thingamajigs, how it God's green earth can you estimate that?  Tampons and pads are absorptive...

    Ew! Why? Why would anyone do that except for medical reasons?

     I would never use that measuring spoon ever again. It would have to be burned.

    Honestly, I read the OP and didn't think much of it, I guess I just assumed she was estimating (at least I hope she was!). What annoyed me was that I kept thinking that 1/4 of a Tablespoon is 1 tsp, so why didn't she just say 1 tsp? ...lol, I'm weird.

    I read the OP and thought the same thing.

    Also, there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, not 4... Wink
