Why Doesn't My Local Walmart Have Dental Dams?

Does my local store not care about their customers health?

Why Doesn't My Local Walmart Have Dental Dams?
The Verge

I have a few questions for my local Walmart in my small town, which I shall not name.

Firstly, why no dental dams local Walmart?

Do you not understand the importance of dental dams?

Do you not understand how to properly use a dental dam?

Do you not want them to taint the very innocent condoms?

Do you think gay people don't exist in this county? (Hint, they do.)

Do you not understand how STDs works?

Do you not care about STD prevention?

Do you want people to get STDs?

Do you think they don't belong in the aptly named "Family Planning" section of your store?

Do you not understand you can make a dental dam by cutting a condom in half? (You are essentially already selling dental dams so why not really sell them?)

Do you even know what a dental dam is?

Did you only know about the kind that dentist use?

Why don't you put them with the pregnancy tests? (Which for some reason isn't with everything else in the "Family Planning" section.)

Why don't you put them next to the Plan B? (Which for some reason is locked up like it might infect anyone who comes near it.)

Female pharmacist must you stare at me with judgement while I loudly bemoan the fact you have no dental dams?

Must you also stare at me with judgement while I bemoan the fact Plan B is super expensive?

Are you assuming I want to buy it? (I don't, I just care about other women who might feel intimidated by your judgment.)

Must you judge people? (I don't think that is in your job description.)

Must I judge you? (I hope you just have a resting bitch face and this all just me worrying.)

Did you not understand what things you would have to deal with working at the Walmart pharmacy?

Did you think no one had sex?

Did you think only straight couples had sex?

Did you think straight couples couldn't use dental dams? (They can.)

Did think lesbian couples just aggressively hugged each other?

Did you think no one wanted to have safe sex? (Like a smart person.)

Why not put them with the menstrual products?

Why are the menstrual products and the "Family Planning" section separated by a few sections of travel sized toiletries?

Do you think men will be afraid if they see a pad or tampon? (They might be.)

Why are they called feminine products, to begin with?

I won't go further into the fact that you have no alternative menstrual products, I can pick my battles.

Lastly, is this just my local Walmart of my small town? Or are there other women in other local Walmarts looking for dental dams and not finding them. (Also, as an afterthought why is it called the black hair section, why is it so small, and why did you hide the good stretchy rubber bands back there?)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
