Period Pants for 'children' using a photo of boys - WTF?!

Cheeky Pants are selling period pants for children. Not girls. And using a photo of what very much looks like a couple of boys to me.

My first thought was logically perhaps they're targeting the incontinence / bed-wetter market, but the copy clearly refers to children having periods etc.

No no no no no.

Oh bollocks. We use cheeky wipes period pants. Going to have to find another brand now as I can't support this. Pity because they're good too.

Although the site has clearly been through the "remove all reference to women and girls" cleansing process.

I just looked and the photo of the boys seems to be advertising incontinence pants which is a different market. It does seem odd if they are using this photo under the section on periods.

This link just seems to have girls on it.

Why do they say children are starting their periods earlier nowadays?
Which type of children? If only there was a way to differentiate between them.
Would it really be so fucking difficult to just use the word girls ffs. What a woke joke.

Oh my fucking God.

“Children” have periods, do they?

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 17/02/2022 22:50

These are clearly period pants. For children. They mean girl children. Females. Anyone that young should not have transitioned, they lack capacity.

Period pants can also be used for incontinence. Logically, if they're targeting the childrens market and want to include both sexes they should be marketing these as "leak-proof underwear for periods or pee" or something.

Not calling them period pants and shifting the focus of the target customer to be at best 'gender-neutral' and at worst, male!

They do sell bedwetting pants for children, and on the main website (not phone site) that photo is in that section.

Theimpossiblegirl · 17/02/2022 22:46

This is getting beyond ridiculous.
Promoting boys being able to claim anything that girls have as their own. Where will this madness end?

Whiskersonkittens21 · 17/02/2022 22:45

I'm baffled. Do they sell incontinence pants? I'm clutching at straws and wondering if someone mucked up which photo to use.

MissMaple82 · 17/02/2022 22:45

Fuming!!!!
