Q: You probably have your reasons for wanting to ditch the applicator, like creating less trash. However, applicators make tampons much easier to insert. You can get either a cardboard or a plastic applicator. Use applicators until you get used to tampons. Plastic applicators are usually more comfortable to insert. However, they can be more costly and have a higher environmental impact. Cardboard applicators are usually easy to insert, but they might cause more friction than plastic applicators. You might feel tempted to practice inserting tampons when you’re not on your period. However, your vagina will be dry, so the tampons will hurt during insertion and when you pull them out. Only wear tampons when you actually have your period.If you think you’re about to start your period, use a pantyliner to protect your underwear. Don’t use a tampon until your period starts.
A: Try using an applicator if you’ve just started using tampons. Use tampons only when you’re on your period.

Article: Fried bread is almost always eaten with one or more other fried foods, as part of an English breakfast. This often includes eggs, English bacon, sausage, sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans. Fry them all in the same pan before you start your bread. If cooking all of the above, start the sausages first, the mushrooms a couple minutes later, then the other ingredients a few minutes later. Finish with the fried eggs. Depending on how much meat and butter you used in the fry-up, you might already have enough fat in the pan. But let's be honest: caloric introspection has no place when frying bread. Add a small knob of butter, a  splash of flavorful vegetable oil or, more traditionally, bacon drippings or lard. Turn the stove on medium-high until the oil shimmers and gives off heat. A hot pan will keep the bread crisp, instead of weighed down by soggy grease. Slightly stale white bread is perfect, as the dry slice will soak up the flavorful oil more quickly. Save that fresh loaf of whole grain for the people who want toast instead. Slice the bread into triangles if you have a small pan. A small sprinkle of salt and a quick turn of the pepper mill will add some flavor, but this isn't mandatory. Cayenne pepper is another option for people who enjoy spice with their breakfast. If the pan is hot and oily enough, you'll only need a few seconds on each side to make the bread crisp, golden brown, and full of the flavors of the fried meal. If your pan was too cold and not sizzling, you may need to fry the bread for 15–30 seconds, but pull it out before it gets too soggy.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cook the fried meal that accompanies the bread (optional). Add more fat or oil (optional). Heat the oil. Add sliced bread to the pan. Spice it up (optional). Cook for a few seconds or until golden brown.

Q: To write braille by hand you need a slate, stylus, and card-stock paper. These can be purchased easily online.  The stylus is a small device, usually a couple inches long. One side is a handle, the other is dull shaft of metal. The metal is pressed into the paper to create the protruding dots that comprise the braille alphabet. The slate is used to keep the dots precisely spaced into neat rows of appropriate distance from one another. It is composed of two pieces of metal, approximately the length of a page of paper, attached by a hinge. It is typically tall enough to include 4-6 rows of braille. Card-stock paper is a thick type of paper. When a stylus is applied to it, it will bend into an indention, rather than rip. Sandwich the paper between the two metal sheets of the slate. The slate should have several rows of cells with six holes each. Press the stylus through the holes of the slate to make dots in the appropriate patterns. When pushing the dots up, you are essentially writing on the back of the page. That means you need to use the stylus to write from right to left—as if writing a mirror image. Afterward, you flip the paper so that the braille reads normally, from left to right.
A:
Collect your tools. Clamp the slate around the paper and indent the paper with the stylus. Flip the page.
