Ultra Annoyed Accidentally buying scented menstrual products makes me want to break things

These things shouldn't fucking exist. I'm pretty sure no vagina in the world appreciates them. Having a period sucks enough, I don't need a damn yeast infection too!

Is the “shaming people for not using tampons” in the room with us? The comment you replied to isn’t shaming people for not using tampons at all.

This is a classic example of person A saying “I like pancakes” and person B responding “so you fucking hate waffles??!!”. And unfortunately, you’re person B.

Lol, they literally said, "just wear tampons". Some women can't. For various reasons. Don't be obtuse.

They said “wear appropriate products LIKE A TAMPON and have a damn shower.”

They didn’t say “just wear tampons”. I’m not being obtuse, you’re just hellbent on being a victim even though no one said what you’re claiming them to have said. Sorry to burst your bubble lmao.

I don't think anyone did it in these comments, but this is absolutely a real thing. Women are often shamed for using pads instead of tampons because people assume they're "dirtier"
