T9 and Tampons

Today's emotional roller coaster:
Picture
Nothing says, "I'm not ready for kids" more effectively than coming home to the leaning-tower-of-tampons on the kitchen table
Bittersweet Victory -- Today I purchased 400 tampons because they were $1.50 off. That shit is expensive and it's not like you're not going to use it up.  I cannot think of a similar expense that men have.

Shock and Dismay!! Upon texting my girlfriend about this $50 investment in our future, I was dismayed to discover that "tampon" is not in the T9 dictionary!  Apparently it is in the same class of other naughty words such as "fuck."

Relief... Quickly I investigated and at least "viagra" is also not in T9.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know: Further investigation has revealed that T9 does have: "menstrual," "erection," and "condom."  Additionally, no one will be shocked that I have also confirmed that "policeman" is in T9 but "policewoman" is not.
