Dylan, currently on 'Day 47 of being a girl' claims Tampax have been in touch.

Why?

'Dylan was using a public restroom when a fellow woman called out if she had a tampon, Dylan shyly replying ‘no’.
Afterwards, she decided to buy some to keep in the house and in her purse for all her girlfriends, ending the video with “women support women.” It seemed that Tampax were quite interested in working with Dylan afterwards. What an incredible outcome!'

Fellow woman! Just thought of a bad pun on the word 'fellow' that would probably get me deleted. So......hard.....to.....resist....

MoltenLasagne · 28/04/2022 18:40

Oh they have, aye?

LadyOfTheCanyon · 28/04/2022 18:40

And today on " things that only happened in Dylan's head"...

Let me remember all those times I've heard women in toilets calling out for spare sanitary products.

... never ...

What a great idea. If only us women had thought of this we wouldn't have to keep asking Transwomen for tampons.

WhiteFire · 28/04/2022 18:50

Let's just hope that Dylan is not involved in a remake of that stupid "it shouldn't hurt" advert.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 28/04/2022 18:50

Who is this mystery woman hollering for tampons in toilets?! I feel left out, she's never asked me for one.

NancyDrawed · 28/04/2022 18:51

In all my 40 years of menstruating (bar pregnancies and the merina coil) I have never asked a stranger for a tampon. On the extremely odd occasion I was caught short, I'd make do with a wad of loo roll until I could get to a shop and buy some sanpro.

And most wocba's I know (I don't know if that acronym is even allowed anymore (woman of childbearing age)) have an emergency tampon/pad in their handbag - sorry, purse if they carry one, or car glovebox.

Fantasy rather than reality, I feel

ISpyCobraKai · 28/04/2022 18:53

Was that before or after they discussed lipstick shades, passed each other paper towels and giggled about have pillow fights in short pyjamas?

Me neither!

TheCurrywurstPrion · 28/04/2022 18:54

This thread is one of those that is hard to read because my eyes were rolling so hard.

Add me to the list of “this has never happened - in over 50 years of public toilet use.

WhiteFire · 28/04/2022 18:54

I think it was established on a previous thread that got deleted that the only times women were asked, if ever, were in nightclub toilets or by a close friend or colleague.

25 years I’ve had periods for, I’ve never been asked for a tampon in a public bathroom ever. Infact I’ve never been asked by anyone anywhere ever 🤷‍♀️

titchy · 28/04/2022 19:00

It's always tampons isn't it? Never super-plus sanitary towels.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 28/04/2022 19:00

I dunno, I've just looked at Dylan's Instagram and she's kind of joyous; I'm finding it hard to hate on this, really.

user750 · 28/04/2022 19:05

Why are TRAs so obsessed with offering women tampons?

Dylan is a very smiley individual on SM. Dylan looks 100% male. Unless I was speaking about Dylan in his earshot, I would use male pronouns. Dylan does not belong in female spaces.

TW are NOT the same as women. I will not stop saying this. Be trans, be happy to be trans, but TM are not the same as men. TMANM and TW are not the same as women, TWANW. No better or lesser, but not the same.

Clymene · 28/04/2022 19:13

I think Dylan is taking the piss

nepeta · 28/04/2022 19:14

Does anyone know what Tampax says about this? I mean, is it actually true that Tampax is doing something with Dylan?

joyous. Yes, that may be 'gender euphoria'. You can google it.

Never, ever, ever…

DomesticatedZombie · 28/04/2022 19:18

Also: Never been asked for a tampon, either.

ISpyCobraKai · 28/04/2022 19:20

I've also never been asked, or asked anyone.
It's just not something that happens.
