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.
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.
