Bethany BlackAfter 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.
Erin Kernohan-Berning@BethanyBlack This is unreal. Also of note is how so many headlines about this study completely miss the point... Ooof. When I searched for this study, most headlines said “Cups better for heavy periods” or something similar - which isn’t even a conclusion of the study other than cups held more fluid. Marie Claire Australia was the only accurate reporting on the study I found in my top search results.
