After all these years I’m rarely surprised by medical misogyny, but finding out that the research from the first ever tests on period products using blood instead of water were published LAST WEEK is one of those surprises.
This is why they are so poor at absorption compared to the claims and why doctors struggle with what constitutes heavy bleeding. The research was published LAST MONDAY. A week ago today.
@BethanyBlack doctors regularly don't believe you even when you do meet the definition of heavy bleeding, until you say you use a menstral cup and you can measure.

@Kellyshenanigans @BethanyBlack

they way they say they 'look at data' but don't believe *you*, when *your experiences* are their data, they just dismiss it.
