This magical new underwear could replace tampons and pads 

Menstruation is a natural part of life, but it has long been and continues to be stigmatized. Three women have come up with a way to change all that. Twin sisters Radha and Miki Agrawal and friend Antonia Dunbar innovated THINX underwear, which completely eliminates the need for tampons or pads and could also help in need in the developing world.

No more pads???

TAKE MY MONEY!

Think about the impact that widespread distribution of these could have on women in “developing” or “underdeveloped” countries. This is amazing.

Can we make this happen?

m…menstrual blood has SKIN in it it’s not just blood… this is so gross

what the actual fuck

Can we not ruin pancakes for me.

The fact that people don’t realize that the Instagram account is a joke really worries me…

This is so fucking fake, if you believe this shit you’re an imbecile.

They are at it again. This is so obviously fake. It is red or pink food dye. The idiots on this thread are so gullible and willing to believe anti feminist lies.

murderkroger menstrual blood does not have skin in it. The solid parts are uterus lining which is is a membrane. Because our uterus lining is shreds and is expelled during menstruation.

i menstruate… it’s a membrane but it might as well be skin
also offended you’d imply i wasn’t a feminist just bc i don’t like the concept of eating blood
it’s obviously food coloring but the concept was what was gross

If you are female then don’t reblog sexist things you are screwing yourself over.

Uterus lining isn’t skin and uterus lining is much different from skin.

The free bleeding concept was made up by an anti feminist trolls and you are posting it uncritically that is what I am annoyed about.

But nearly every woman I know has had a menstrual mishap, an accident at school or at work. Most of us have been stranded in public with no tampons or sanitary napkins. Some of us have even had the unfortunate experience of dropping our brimming Diva Cups, reusable silicone products used to collect menstrual blood. These accidents are unpleasant and inconvenient, but why can’t we simply accept them as we would, say, spilling coffee on our pants?

Luckily, we’re seeing a lot of pushback — some of it in the public spotlight. On May 6, Larry Wilmore of Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show” hosted a panel in which he and his guests discussed menstruation in response to a Time op-ed that argued that Hillary Clinton is fit for the presidency because she’s postmenopausal and therefore stronger and more energetic. Wilmore rightfully mocked this notion of a woman’s menstrual cycle as a debilitating handicap. As one of the panel members, Nicole Wallace — a former communications director for George W. Bush — succinctly put it, “Yes, I worked in the White House. And yes, every 28 days I bled, but the country went on.”

White Feminism in a nutshell

I’m so disgusted

I’m throwing up

this is making me hate public transportation even more

image

they are also racist and fucking stupid lmao. everyone should report them. now.

Omfg this is sick

I can’t believe this nasty shit

Guys that’s….not real, women bleed about a couple of tablespoons of blood, not all that. And the blatant racism shows that this is clearly a troll account.

^^^ Same, I feel like this is obvious trolling. 

Cis women are disgusting

Thank you for admitting you are a misogynist @yourtransmisogynyisbullshit.

@mixedpassing women bleed no matter what race we are. Adding the word ‘white’ to feminism does not hide your misogyny. You are stupid to think that this is real. Women do not bleed that much in that short of time and the blood is not where it would be if we bled through. Not only that but we would bleed through our pants and have to walk around with blood stains. Free bleeding is not a real thing it is only in the imaginations of misogynists.

On the seat closer to the window there is blood on the back of the chair. Women’s vaginas are not located on our backs. The blood splatter is inconsistent with how the blood would flow onto the chair.

I looked at it again and the it kind of look like tomato sauce.

You think…. I put white…. Because l think yall are the only ones that menstruate….
Why are white people so simple omg

You are the one who think that is actually menstrual blood and can’t figure out how women bleed. You put ‘white’ in front of feminism to hide your misogyny and are now making up weird excuses. 

lol wow look at all these accurate assumptions you made based off a picture l got from twitter and a random thread on your dash. You got me l really do think that blood and not a fake stabbing picture. You’re absolutely right l hate women so much which is why all my friends are trans/cis women and l have no cishet guy friends. Please do tell me more about myself lm learning so much already 😊

Saying you friends are women (adult human female) doesn’t count for much tbh. Your post was bullshit thinly veiled sexism. Then you claimed you put white because white feminists think we are the only white women menstruate (baseless claim you are making shit up there). 

Anyway don’t post obvious misogynist troll pranks and then act as if that was our doing. It was a stupid post just admit it.

you lack basic reading comprehension though like l never said “white feminists think we are the only white women menstruate” at all…. l literally addressed your dumbass saying “women bleed no matter what race we are. Adding the word ‘white’ to feminism does not hide your misogyny” as if that wasn’t obvious like yall stay missing the point. l’m not about to go back and forth with you when you don’t even read what l wrote. This is why l dont fuck with white feminists because yall backwards as hell… white feminist only care about white women and have only cared about white women since before women’s suffrage. l bet yall don’t even know what misoynoir is… if this post had of said black women would yall be going this hard? Like the funny thing is if you had of taken the time to actually go through the notes before typing up ya lil rants you would have seen that the authenticity of this post was already brought to my attention and addressed before it even hit 1,000 notes.

“You think I put white…… because I think yall are the only ones that menstruate“

what are you trying to convey here?

Misogynoir is the hatred and contempt of black women. It is about how black women experience sexism and are oppressed for being both black and female. I know what it is. I would being going this hard because no matter what race women are subject to sexism and that includes misogyny because of our menstruation.

Like I said earlier women bleed no matter what race we are. I wasn’t saying ‘we all bleed red’ to be colourblind. I was saying we bleed from our vaginas and this post was making fun of women for menstruating. Menstrual taboo is in pretty much every culture and the image is you posted was about making fun of women for bleeding. This post is sexist and made by anti feminists and you should acknowledge it. It isn’t good enough that you figured out it was fake because the post was motivated by sexism.

apparently we menstruate from our buttholes and backs …

you are all so ready to hate on women without even thinking!!

and yes, non white men, you’re misogynistic women-haters just like white-men

you aren’t fooling us with putting “white” or “cis” in front of your anti women rants

@mixedpassing seems to think that our vaginas are on our back. It is obviously fake, only a man would think this is period blood. I looked at it again and the weird stuff near the bottle looks too think to be blood.

i’ve had to whisper about my periods and pass pads and tampons underneath desks and listen to guys talk about how “bitchy” girls get “on the rag” so a little fucking art that normalizes and validates this experience is more than acceptable. let girls and women talk about menstruation.

Parineeti Chopra responds to a male reporter who claims to know nothing about periods (menstrual cycle). [X]

SO IMPORTANT.

I started my period when I was 10 years old. But we didn’t tell my grandma for three years because she subscribed to the “old traditions”, where a woman on her period could not enter the house, not even to bathe. Where she had to sit outside in front of the house (where the whole village could be witness to her shame and isolation) for the entire duration.

My friend started her period unexpectedly while we were at our local temple (in America) for dance class. Asking around if any of the parents had pads (all of them apologized and acted like adults about it), I thought surely the front office has a first aid kit. Don’t they have pads? When we asked, not only did they not have any, when one of the women gave one from her purse, the head secretary told us “There are men who need to use the first-aid kit, ya? So we don’t keep period things there.” Not even ibuprofen (which has so many more uses than period pain).

There are girls in India and Nepal (and other places, but I just read an in-depth piece about the situations in Nepal) who have to go to the “period hut” when their period comes and not leave until its over. They can’t wash and dry their cloth pads in the daylight, so they do it at night when the pads won’t dry properly before their next use, making them vulnerable to infection.

It is incredibly important, especially in India, to break the taboo surrounding periods. Break the secrecy around an event that happens to almost every woman, every month for literally half of her lifetime. Break the hiding, break the cover-up, break the SHAME.

Just break EVERYTHING. So little girls can go to school every day of every month without feeling ashamed. So women can work every day of every month to provide for their families without being glared at. So single fathers can confidently take care of their daughters’ health. So that women can talk about how terrible their period is or isn’t and give each other advice on how to deal with it without looking around to make sure men aren’t listening.
So that Whisper doesn’t have to be called Whisper, it can be called SHOUT. It can be called PROUD. So that we don’t NEED to fucking WHISPER about our bodies and our health.

Stop making girls and women ashamed of what their bodies do *naturally*. What should shame boys and men is their violence.

femfaction:

In a culture that refuses to have discussions on things like menstruation, I find it very disturbing that people would derail them with announcements of “Not all women bleed!” Yes some women have Amenorrhea, some women are trans, some women are post-menopause.

You know what else…
