Transwoman claims Tampax have offered sponsorship

Never ever ever happens

It's utterly ridiculous for men to carry tampons. When your periods first start you use pads or teeny tiny tampons. When your flow is more settled you use different sizes ,plus pads or just pads depending on how heavy things are and how long your cycle is . By the time I was perimenopausal my periods were horrendous. A teeny tiny tampon would have last 2 minutes if that. When I was 14 a heavy flow tampon would not have gone in. Its just ridiculous play acting. I cannot think of any situation where I would ask a man if he had any spare sanitary products . Its just bollocks

Yes PriamFarrl, that IS what they think.

On the last thread someone (a woman) even said that their TW friend often complimented people on their clothes, shoes or lipstick shade whilst in the ladies bathrooms.
Because that's what happens, doesn't it?

Bollocks it does.

Things that have happened to me in public toilets.
Women offering me tissues when there is no loo roll.
Women apologising for the loo not flushing.
Women moaning about the queue.

Things that have never happened.
Anyone asking me for a tampon,

In my 47 years of being a woman I’ve only ever been asked by friends or colleagues, never a random woman in a toilet.

Do some men think this is what goes on behind the doors? That we are all chummy and having great time?

but by having a tampon on hand she is .... probably feeling more included by being part of the process.

yes you nailed it there Hutchy. I agree that this is what is going on. I wonder why Dylan wants to be part of someone else's biological process?

Women are generally too socially conditioned to feel shame about tampons so don’t ask strangers. Also why is it ‘girlhood’ and not ‘women-hood’ on Dylan’s instagram? Who says ‘girlhood’ she’s a fully grown adult FFS.

I’ve heard of many a cis-gendered male carrying sanitary products in their cars or bags, just in case one of their friends gets caught out…they always get talked about like heroes for their understanding.

Yeah.

probably feeling more included by being part of the process

women have been penalised for centuries for having periods. Today many women still suffer in extreme pain, discomfort and period poverty due to periods. How nice for Dylan to get to be included in that, and if dylan is to be believed, also financially gain from that.

What is the huge attraction of a woman's toilet?

All my friends and me hate using public restrooms and always have, if I need to go, I try not to touch anything with bare skin and hover over the toilet and this was before I read the story of a wanking transwomen smearing their seamen everywhere.

I don't know any women that actually enjoy a public toilet.

Also never asked or been asked for a tampon, in over 35 years.

But THEY DO have periods.
Honest Guv.
Just not the bleeding part, but everything else.
Because......hormones innit?
Cramping? You bet. In their.............oh wait...........

I’ve never had a stranger ask for spare tampons etc, but work colleagues have. I always have stuff in my bag for myself and happy to share.

If someone in a public loo was stuck, and I had some I’d give it. But normally if in public, my default stance would be to just pop to boots or the supermarket. Isn’t that what everyone does?

Presumably Dylan thinks that all women wear tampons and all women wear the same size tampon. He isn't a woman so has no idea about the multitude of different needs and options that biological women have and that bodies change as you grow,have children, get older etc. If he knew these things he would realise why the whole scene he has in his head of a woman asking for a tampon would never, ever happen.

If only it were possible to make these trans women feel the true experience of having periods. The bleeding for days, the occasional leaking, the cramps, the backache, the hormonal swings. They'd find 'being a girl' isn't the fun they think it is.

@DolphinaPD

I thought that but unfortunately it’s not true. It’s not uncommon to use tampons as part of the validation.

Really common on Reddit too, to see stories from ‘girls’ about some lovely trans person who have them tampons in public toilets etc. Given the amount of trans people there are they must be really making the rounds hanging out in public toilets waiting to hand out tampons and pads.

While fiddling shyly with his pink hair clip.

If the cost of living crisis gets too bad, I'll be outside the public conveniences with a cardboard sign: will validate tw for tampax.

But... Tampax have offered "sponsorship"? To do what? Stand in public toilets and dispense tampons? Isn't there already a machine for that?

Dylan shyly replied no

Maybe with a coy, lispy voice?

I have actually been asked, and probably asked myself, but this is still bollocks.😄

And wearing some very big, practical, comfy pants.

Yeah but sanitary towels - especially super plus plus - aren’t as, I don’t know, what’s the word I could use here?? - as a phallic-shaped tampon that you insert inside yourself.

I have never ,ever, ever asked a stranger or a friend in any situation if they have a spare tampon. I can honestly say that in all my 57 years no one has ever asked me for any sanitary products. Biological women are either prepared and carry something in their bag or make a temporary pad with loo roll and go to a shop as soon as possible. Biological women, ie the humans who actually have periods, learn all this very quickly. Why on earth would a biological man think he should be carrying tampons or be in the female toilets.

It's so weird. This obsession with tampons.

I'm surprised they aren't taken with towels because they could actually wear those, but they can't even pretend to use tampons.
