Boots — “period products”

[Startinganew07]

Apparently the change happened a while ago but I have only recently noticed Boots has changed its “feminine hygiene” section to “period products”, presumably because periods are no longer the preserve of females?

That’s much better; far more appropriate description. Feminine hygiene suggests periods and female body parts are unhygienic. And usually products for incontinence are in that aisle; which everyone might need

Femfresh belongs in the "allergens and irritants" aisle.

Much better to use the word period. And it covers heated rubs and patches etc as well. Nothing to do with hygiene but are period related.

I hate this kind of gleeful shite. I'm also in the pro "period products" camp, but what's the purpose of this kind of mean-spirited gloaty sneering?

@FineWordsButterNoParsnips I thought that 🤣👏

Absolutely prefer period products, that is exactly what they are. Feminine hygiene is such a weird old fashioned phrase

Yeah another who prefers period products in terms of language used to be honest.

I have a very low tolerance to any bollocks about women magically 'becoming' men and vice versa but I'm glad of the name change.

Feminine hygiene sounds soooo old fashioned and insinuates that periods are somehow unhygienic. It's a bit 'maiden aunt'. See also 'sanitary towels' which has my daughters hooting with laughter.

Period products is to the point and perfect IMO.

I bought some one by accident, but I took them back unopened and got a refund. They are the devils work.

I prefer it - and it moves the issue away from the idea that anyone with feminine feelz might need them.
