any woman will tell you that is NOT a tampon string... tampon strings are very small, that is oviously part of another costume that she probably was just in, or just about to change in to, but there's no way that was a tampon string. They don't even make tampons with strings that huge... and more to the point, as mentioned above, Brit has multiple people checking her wardrobe, yes, somehow this got past someone, but i would be willing to bet money that it's part of another pair of panites, NOT a tampon string... have you ever seen a tampon?? the string that was coming out of her pants is the size of a small tampon itself, and the actual strings are very tiny! everyone needs to chill and be happy for her! hasn't she been through enough already, can we please stop grabbing a straws (or strings) just to take her down a peg??? she's been down plenty, it's time to let her shine again! geez people, come on, have some class, and decency!!
