Eh. At least part of the joke seems to be "tampons for men? How preposterous, men don't need tampons". That said, I really want tampons for transmen to be a thing

i didn't make it, but my read on it was as a critique of male-gendered products go over the top injecting "masculinity" into their branding. they do mention the pink tax ("20% cheaper for no reason!"), i don't know that reactionaries would include something like that. Either way, I agree wholeheartedly that tampons for men who need them should be normalized.

Ahh, shit. Really? I just ordered them, because the ad is impressive.

What can I do with them now? Nosebleeding, maybe?

Tampons can be good for bleeding hemorrhoids, or gunshot wounds. Real men get both!

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Both? A gunshot into the hemorrhoids?

Isn't that how people get rid of them? Or am I doing something wrong?

Transmen.

Like... Just marketed for them or is there a need for a specialized product?

[–] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 months ago

Just marketing

Missed opportunity to wear them in a bullet belt.
