Modibodi WTAF?

@MillicentTrilbyHiggins "I assume they sort by sex because mens pants are a different cut to women's."

That's the point, trans men will have to click on the women's section to get period pants. And trans women will have to click on the men's section to get incontinence pads.

That is the point @punkofop was making I think.

Does to matter? Does it make even the blindest not of different to you??

How about instead showing an older woman, or someone with a disability using their products?

They do

@Leafytrees they do use the word woman. There's a 'women' section.

@FatSealSmugSoup where did you get that idea from? My modibodi (from the women's section) are plain black. No pink or frills in sight.

@ClaudiasFringe boyshort is a well known style of underwear. See also boyfriend jeans.

@punkofop I assume they sort by sex because mens pants are a different cut to women's.

@MrsJamin they do show a variety of women. Including one with prosthetic legs.

I see there are 'boyshorts' in the image of the Underpants section. Are there also 'girlpants' somewhere on the website?

I’m confused. Am I (as an actual) woman to wear only pink frilly pants? What should I do with my black “utility” (waist-warning sloggis) pants? Have I been missold? Have sloggi assumed my gender? 😔

Of course transmen are "allowed" to have period products 🙄, but why are modibodi pandering to such a small minority of people who have dangerously modified their bodies? It's promoting damaging your own healthy body.

How about instead showing an older woman, or someone with a disability using their products? There are much larger groups of women who aren't represented using menstrual products.

Thats what I thought, they are womens breasts and she has a waist.

I reported the advert to Facebook for nudity and they didn't accept it. Full fronted female nudity allowed on Facebook then. ARGH!

TBH some of the comments on this thread are really playing into the MN is transphobic trope. Transmen are allowed to have period products that appeal to them and there are still plenty of "feminine" styles to choose from.

Why do they even need the section headers 'Women, Teens, Men, All Genders, kids'?

They could simply have had 'Period wear, Incontinence wear, Teen period and Nappies'. Or similar. Then anyone can find the product they require.

Why did they feel the need to sort by sex? I know the answer.

Damn...

I was less than honest with my postcode, though 😉. Maybe that'll throw them off the scent 😂

That model is obviously a female on closer inspection.

I doubt the minuscule amount of men people who'll be reeled in by this will even marginally compensate for the amount of women who won't use them again.
Their target market is adult human females. If they can't grasp that, they deserve to go broke.

Unlikely. Other companies/politicians have gone woke, gone broke.

Whoever their target is, this campaign has given them a huge amount of publicity and coverage.
They might lose some customers over this but gain others.

@Johnnysgirl
😂 I missed out all other than my email address, thought it would get rejected but didn't!

But anyone who menstruates know fine well this product is for them. Someone who considers themselves to be a man, not a woman, doesn't need to be put front and centre of their advertising campaign.
Their target market is 99.9% women.

Done. They really want to know your entire CV, don't they? Hope they're not going to send someone to hunt me down!

I am sorry for anyone offended by this advertising but I still think it's a product that is for any menstruating woman, regardless of presentation.
It's pointless to pretend that the transman aesthetic doesn't exist - you don't have to like it and I too feel a pull of sadness that women choose this, but Oscar is an adult and free to make their own choices.
There are other makers of period pants if it bothers you that much.

Done. Thank you

It is unreasonable when pandering to this deluded ideology is insulting and offensive to women, their main market

Theres always a " price ". Finally there's things on the market outside of disposable items which can be tricky and fiddly and painful to use if mistakes are made ( ever pulled out a dry tampon). Something that must ne an absolute god send to Little girls starting out because in the world of disposable pads it would appear if you need a small one u also don't need the absorbancy which of course isn't always the case.

But the trade off is that you have to pretend men need them too and play along that women amd girl is a dirty word and have major surgery and body modification glamourised.

We literally can't have any thing.

Yes! I couldn’t see that body as male. I was baffled atfirst by the normal-male-looking chest, without scars, but that must be the result of cosmetic surgery. Everything else looked female. Glad my brain is still seeing reality.

And a very feminine face

Makes me think of using an anorexic model to sell Slimfast.
