New business on the block selling organic tampons via post and so on, called Yoppie. This is their instagram.

Text of instagram post:

'Most bleeders know how they are impacted by their period, but unfortunately aren't in touch with their feelings & symptoms in the other phases of their cycle. We are here to change that.'

I just can't stop laughing at this one. Grin

Come on, come on!
Sweeney's waiting
I want you bleeders…

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 15/03/2022 18:28

How fucking dare they refer to women and girls as sub-human 'bleeders'?!

Yup

During the other stages of my cycle I am dead inside.

I only come to life and feel things when I bleed.

"I've spent enough time with my son in A&E after Rugby games and can categorically state he too bleeds.

I still wouldn't buy him tampons though."

Keep in mind they're handy for nose bleeds

Oops i see everyone beat me to the ‘its an insult’

Apologies 😀

CervixSampler · 15/03/2022 18:17

Bloody hell.

@CheeseAndHackers

🤣
RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 15/03/2022 18:14

A) everyone bleeds you numpty

B) bleeder in the uk is an ‘insult’….a person regarded with contempt or pity

IdentifyingAsAPrincess · 15/03/2022 18:06

They don't advertise tampons like they did ten years ago.

Gumbomambo · 15/03/2022 18:05

Just awful. In Yorkshire we used to call naughty children bleeders as in “come ‘ere tha little bleeder”. What’s the point in it? I don’t understand how this is a good advertising strategy? Our bodies are not bleeding. Having a period is not like cutting your finger.

VioletWitchery1 · 15/03/2022 18:04

The comments on the post should show her how offensive this is.

"Bleeder" is so dehumanising. I'm not a bleeder I'm a person.

The words they're looking for are "women and girls".

If they're desperate to be inclusive they could say "women, girls and other people who menstruate". Job done.

‘Bleeder’ is so offensive.

ProfYaffle · 15/03/2022 17:57

Bleeder? My northern Dad uses that as an insult as in "Can't stand him, he's a right bleeder" etc Hmm

Manekinek0 · 15/03/2022 17:54

This must be a publicity stunt. Surely she knows it's a derogatory term. I did check and it is in the urban dictionary so not just something that disgusting old men use in my area.

DameHelena · 15/03/2022 17:53

As they say in something about mary, ‘we’ve got a bleeder’
I think I remember them in ER shouting that when someone had a severed artery.

DameHelena · 15/03/2022 17:52

Fuck's sake.
I've put up an arsey comment.

I am not a flower at all, but this kind of thing really and truly saddens me.

Bleeders. Is that all we are now?

SamphiretheStickerist · 15/03/2022 17:47

Didn't Yoppie do Fingerbobs?

I remain bemused

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/03/2022 17:46

@TheCovidHalfStone

I’m looking forward to the toilet roll manufacturers following suit.
