The world’s first tampons for men have been criticised by feminist campaigners as an “insult” to women who suffer period discrimination.

Vuokkoset, a Finnish company released the controversial new sanitary product earlier this month to coincide with Transgender Awareness week and International Men’s day.

The product comes in a dark blue box which bears the words “For Men” on one side, but then extends this phrase around the packaging so it eventually reads “For Menstruation”.

On another side of the packet it is stated that “periods are not a gender issue”.

Vuokkoset has said in a statement online that it launched the period product to “raise the issue of genderness of hygiene products and the anxiety related to menstruation in trans men”.

Without ovaries and a uterus there is no menstruation. The idea that pretend women need a tampon is rediculous.

Okay. Okay. I was wondering about the product design.

So it’s not for dudes. It’s for girls role playing men.

What does this mean, that it's "okay" for some men to identify as being "on the rag"? How does that work?
