WAITROSE: renaming feminine products as period products to be more "inclusive" after a complaint.

[SunshinDay]

I thought we had seen the back of the maddness ? What are they thinking ?

Exactly.
What's next for change.

I agree. I used to work for JLP, and have been loyal to the company for 50 years. There is a fine Waitrose within walking distance of my home and they are my fave supermarket (even if I spend more at Sainsbury's).

But if they are still ideologically captured by trans ideology, I'm gonna have to use up my little treats and vouchers and walk away.

I've already deleted their MyWaitrose app from my my phone because they introduced the Progress Pride flag as its background last month. Talk about insulting your core customer base! I hopevthey havea Ratner moment before they go bust.

@Busylizzy87 agree but it's taboo for waitrose to relate these products directly to women. That's why they have changed it

That makes no sense.

They're with all the other products for women, no?

If the complaint was not over the ridiculously outdated phrasing, what was it about? Do you have a link to the source that you can share?

I think it should be called the opps aisle

only because it will confuse the hell out of my father 🤔

Oops!!!!

bloody oops aisle!!!!

fuck my life 😀

@Busylizzy87 sorry I should have linked it on my first post it's second page I think it's a screen from the article in the times

@BeardySchnauzer I agreed with you at first but then I remembered there are male incontinence issues and many men have come out on TV asking for incontinence products
So maybe a general leakages aisle ?

This. I hate the euphemism of feminine products. I did not feel feminine when I was.flooding and bleeding through my super plus tampon. I just want products for the thing that it is called "period".

Period products is a much better description. Does it really matter if trans-men prefer that description too? What on earth is feminine anyway?

I guess it’s because periods are just a normal occurrence that happens to women whereas incontinence is a bit medical perhaps?

I think putting adult incontinence products next to baby nappies would also be insensitive

Another vote for period products! Much better name.

So older women or women with medical issues who don't menstruate aren't feminine?

Nah, that's female. I'm still female at every point of the month. Feminine is all the bullshit expected of women.

@BeardySchnauzer why insensitive it's the circle of life

Wrong reason, right result.
