This asswipe claims I need 7 tampons per period? I WISH!!!! i need a minimum of 15 tampons each month and I actually have it easy. Most of my girlfriends need to use both a tampon and a pad just to make it through the day as a normal human. These dumbass men who don't know s**t about the female body should just STAY AWAY AND NEVER EVER TALK ABOUT IT. Otherwise we might have to find you and start bleeding in your idiot face when our 7 tampons are all used up. Males should not speak about periods or uteruses unless he's a OB-GYN, and even then it's not really his area. Most of you men get this, and you'll be fine, you're good. Just tell us we're pretty and throw chocolate at us when we growl at you.

That man is utterly ignorant but it also shows how little schools teach about the reproductive system...

No, no...you guys are misunderstanding him. After using 7 tampons per period cycle, you'll be dead of toxic shock after 9th one, which is why he said you only have 9 per year. He's just going under the assumption that women are ok with dying and you're all ganging up on him. Jeez.

My periods are almost two weeks long, and i'm a heavy bleeder. This cost is even greater for me. Who does this jackass think he is?

If you don't know how many month a year has and if you never talked to a woman how often she has to change her tampon per day (to not die because of it!), please don't calculate stupid stuff. Thank you in advance. Sincerely a Man that is not that stupid.

I don't need any tampons now, but that's only because I no longer have a uterus! When I did have one between the Ramon I would go through every 45 min, plus a pad, and the anemia it caused and the sever cramping, I could add on the extra iron supplements I was having to take as well as the muscle relaxers and pain medication. And that was only if I had 1 period a month! What a douche canoe! I'd have LOVED for this man to have all the pain and bleeding I went through!

Imagine being so insecure you feel the need to mansplain periods to women. Period products should be covered by insurance, but given the number of old white straight men in government, that probably won't happen soon. In the meantime, you could try using a cup. They cost about as much as a box of tampons but last for years, and they're more environmentally friendly. And honestly, only as gross as used tampons. Although I understand they may not work for really heavy flow.

9 periods a year... My stupid uterus missed that very important memo or it decided to work overtime without my approval because it comes around 12 times a year.. yep.. once a month... LOL

When I was younger, my periods were so heavy, I would go through one super sized tampon in 15-30 minutes. So that's like ~16 tampons for one waking day of 8 hours. Most women bleed for around 3-5 days, some up to 7. Hope this guy drowns in blood.

Sadly these "men" are product of their stupid mothers who never talked to them about *whispers* that time of the month. Or anything that really matters and is worth teaching your children. That's also how you get anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers.

What a dweeb. I’m glad that someone actually explained it though, most people were just making fun of him, so I hope he at least educated himself or saw that comment.

I can't wear tampons due to collapsed pelvic floor

I go through s box a month...and it's the big box!

I'm really not surprised at his ignorance, some men remain willfully ignorant of the subject. Part of it is due to upbringing with the stance of "Well, that's woman stuff- I don't need to know it." or the even more immature, "Ew, don't discuss that with me!". The most understanding, usually do care about their partner's well being, or have daughters/sisters. The taboo on it has lifted some, but we still have a ways to go.

He doesn't sound like the type to care if his hypothetical woman does get toxic shock.

Why do people give opinions on something they know nothing about? Luckly we have men to explain women how period works.

When will men uneducated about mensturation stfu?

In nz, tampons are still a 'luxury product, but for many years now pass have been exempt and are classed as a necessity. So we have a cheaper option (but now going swimming lol)

What the f**k

This is just Stupid. I go through way more than 7 tampons for one period.

I. JUST. CAN'T what a dumbass

I got lucky and needed a hysterectomy. If menopause age is similar in families, I've managed to knock 12 years off my bleeding time. It could have been 50 years of this hell. First 36 hours, change hourly (with leakage) next 4 days every 6 hours. Then another 5 to 15 days of "Is it gone yet?" Just re reading E. E. Doc Smith's "Grey Lensman" and the way travelling through hyperspace is described feels very much like menstrual cramps. So glad my womb grew a 9lb fibroid and needed removal. Otherwise there was little chance of getting rid of an unwanted/unnecessary facility unless I had already spawned. I feel for all those of you still tackling Lucifer's waterfall

Think he needs to change is sexual orientation because he will never get a woman after this.

The answer is menstrual cups. Around $40 for a cup, which is good for 5-10 YEARS. Plus $10 for a special ph soap if you'd like. That's $50 for a whole decade (although you'd still need liners here and there). Menstrual cups are made from medical grade silicon, minimizes waste, they're more comfortable than pads or tampons in my opinion, with less leaks, and sport friendly. Yes you need to empty and wash it about every 4-8 hours, and inserting and removing it takes some getting used to, but there are SO many benefits.

What is WRONG with this dude...I have to change tampons every hour the first days, plus use pads. Then there's the night-pads, and different sizes of tampons.... Djeeeeez.....

7 TAMPONS PER PERIOD?!!! I WISHHHHHHHHH
