I assume, since your name is Brian, that you've never tried using either
type of tampon applicator.  So I'll tell you what's wrong with the paper
ones: they're g*dd*mn uncomfortable to use.  Often they just plain *hurt*.

Oh, and the plastic ones don't *inevitably* get flushed down toilets.  They
*occasionally* get flushed down toilets.  If they *inevitably* got flushed
down toilets, you wouldn't find much else on your South Shore beaches
(wherever they may be).

Hang in and keep :-)ing.
