People who menstruate

Unnecessary and ridiculous to put 'for people who menstruate'. I find it a bit insulting.

Agree Suzie well said! Getting fed up to have to mind every P&Qs in case they offend somebody!

Young people in my family/colleagues think it's all rather stupid.

Are women being cancelled now?

I avoid anyone who doesnt want to use the word woman, they are generally misogynists.

Did you not see the flack that JK Rowling recieved over this issue. Even the young stars of Harry Potter unfriended her.

The manufacturers are either being woke or deliberately provocative - either way they are to be avoided.

Or they are trying to appeal to a particular demographic.

I have every sympathy with those who wish to transition, but I also object strongly to women being erased, and female spaces being invaded. We have so few of them, and they were so hard-won.

Agreed suzie.

Actually Hetty you’re correct, why do the manufacturers feel the need to say who they were meant for? The name ‘Sanitary Towels’ would have been sufficient, so it’s interesting that the manufacturers chose to use the language that they did to describe the product.

Good point about not needing to mention the word women but this company clearly is making an issue of it

Another minefield of opportunities to offend opens up.......

I’m afraid the red mist falls with this sort of nonsense. I understand that there are some trans men who menstruate . I actually don’t care if they are offended by products designed for biological women being marketed as being for women. I boycott any company I know of who indulge in this rubbish the aim of which is to erase women. I’ve not shopped at M and S for nearly a year now since they opened their changing rooms to self id- ing women.

I agree Hetty. It’s a long time since I’ve needed to use them but I don’t remember my boxes of Tampax being emblazoned with the information that they were for women.

I don't see why it's necessary to even mention who they are meant for!

As I understand it (and I’ve had serious conversation with younger members of family who are more up to date on these things and have friends who are unsure) only females menstruate but if you’ve decided not to be female, then being called a woman is offensive.

I apologise in advance to those who disagree and am willing to read all views.
