The stigma around menstrual blood is real.

There's still a real stigma surrounding menstruation, specifically menstrual blood, which even permeates scientific research.

He adds, “Saline absorption is a surrogate for menstrual blood, but it is not a clinically meaningful endpoint that measures how a patient feels or functions with the tampon.” He praised the latest study, saying it “modernises our understanding of menstrual product capacity by using red blood cells rather than saline” and “provides practical, clinically relevant information to help patients match a product with their own menstrual protection needs, and better plan for the expense.”

Why should women and people with periods be forking for out products that haven't been designed for their needs? This study can pave the way for more accurate testing of period products, as well as reducing the stigma surrounding menstrual blood. Who's up for the challenge?
