Is there a sanpro product/ company that isn't forcing gender shit at girls?

It IS infuriating not to have a choice. Tbh, starting my periods was a pretty positive event (albeit low key) and part of that was chatting with my best friend and choosing liners. I realise that now sounds a bit 🙄 but how deranging must it be that all these brands designed to address a female issue are promoting this dangerous gender ideology! Maddening!

Its meant to be. We had initially moved on from the embarrassment if paper bags at the chemist, parents who won't mention it and bulky pads attached to belts. But being in a place where girls have more choice than ever before in order to manage periods. Its easier than its ever been ( medical issues like endo aside of course) but that doesn't fit the ideological narrative of it being traumatic and making kids suicidal so they can be convinced they can identity out of it, they desperately need puberty blockers etc and how everyone who aims their products at women and girls is the enemy. So now we have every choice possible but girls aren't allowed to know they have it. Straight back to the confusion , embarrassment, lack of awareness about their bodies ( unless their parents have of course done the dirty work of explaining what a person with a vagina is ) and the creation of victims .

The more we get the more gets taken away. Its almost as if girls need keeping in their place isn't it..

Supermarket own brands? They're largely unscented and despite the cheaper price most are pretty good. I don't think they bother having an online presence or advertising, never noticed anything ridiculous on the packets either.

They use the term women plus - see disclaimer

Not only women menstruate? Where does Bodyform think its coming from. Load of tosh. Another brand I won't touch.

There are quite a few smaller companies who sell good washable ones - might be worth checking some of those out too?

It's telling how they haven't launched a "manitary towel" in camo packaging for transmen to help them if they genuinely wanted to help transpeople.
This is a good point!

I didn't know Bodyform had succumbed- another lost customer here.
