Buying menstruation products...
At 15: *cowering in mortification* m-mom will you go to the store for me?
At 30: *struts into the pharmacy for a pack of tampons like I'm an outlaw on a dusty afternoon in the wild west, stopping into a saloon for a drink before I ride out with the tumbleweeds on my half tamed stallion*
#i wish my pubertal self could see me now#buying period products#the difference age makes#period problems#menstruation#no shame

My biggest pet peeve, companies broadcasting that they're women owned when their product isn't for women specifically
YOU ARE OATMEAL I DON'T CARE WHO OWNS YOU
#i care deeply that the period product companies i buy from are women owned#because theyre products meant for women and i am more likely to trust a company that tests and uses their own products#but oatmeal?#who cares?#it just doesnt matter#thats an everybody food

if you see this, and you're about to sleep (like me), i hope we both get a good rest and our f/os visits us in our dreams ᰔᩚ
if you're just starting your day, good luck and i hope your day will be good and filled with positive things coming straight to your way ᰔᩚ
and if you're in the middle of your day, i hope you're given strength to tackle the remaining hours before you can kick back and relax ᰔᩚ
#rin rambles#praying hoping wishing my eczema won't flare up again and woke me up in the middle of the night like the past few days#i'm absolutely tired but twas a productive day....#planning to visit a cafe and buying some coffee beans tomorrow. and working outside. i think a change of pace will be good for me!!!#and then. and then. i'm gonna totally laze off like a sloth this weekend.#yep. just waiting for period to start so imma just roll around on my bed doing nothing!!!#(well i still have to clean and do laundry and do some cooking BUT NEVERTHELESS)#i deserve the relaxation!!! an introvert's gotta recharge!!! raaaaaaaah (why am i screaming. i do not know /silly)

... why he sit like this
#in this position his face is extremely 'cartoon cat' shaped.. like the perfectly round cheeks and little#rounded bump of a snout.. big round eyes. etc. stretched over the arm of a chair like a weirdo#cats#It's still Hot Evil Summer time and I have so much to do so am just aimlessly hopping between various projects but not actually#getting anything done. as usual. Also so so so so tired. I almost fell asleep in the middle of the floor like 3 times today lol#Trying to finish some costume photos and also another poll adventure thing. plus I do really want to do a sculpture sometime#I haven't finished one in a while. Hopefully my tiredness is nothing bad.#Maybe I'm anemic again so that's making me tired. Or maybe it's just a Listless phase. not that I'm ever really THAT productive considering#all of the health problems and etc. always holding me back. but still. I'm not usually 'sleep or just stare at a wall literally all day' ty#e unproductive.. at least not for multiple days in a row so. hmm... Sometimes especially in the summer though I will have periods of time#that are listless like that. I am under low level phyiscal stress for months at a time due to summer heat so I guess it makes sense#that would eventually take a toll. I just have SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO!!!!! AAUUGhhh#I also came up with a new idea for a game that is so so cool and I wish I could make it but I have to finish the other one first lol#which I will NEVER do. if I spend all day just sleepy unfocused barely able to do anything#I also really need to sell some clothes and sculptures because I'll probably have to buy a new computer soon so I need money. (plus still#recovering the costs of having to euthanize my other cat.. wehh) There's nothing clearly wrong with it right now but it's getting gradually#slower and there's more weird glitches happening randomly and idk.. just weird things that make me think 'hmm... bad.. possibly.'#ANYWAY... I just have so much to do that I both REALLY want or need to do - so it's perpetually frustrating that I just can't for whatever#reason like. Time is always mving forward. every day I waste is a wasted day. The year is already almost half over. I havent finished#any of the projects I wanted to .. and there's only more and more things to do each day. It's overwhelming and stinky#and thats not even considering having to do all of my tasks also with the background noise of economic inequality. everything increasingly#going into an even scarier political direction. active climate change crisis. pandemic that still exists and is insane to act otherwise. et#etc. HOW am I supposed to solo make two whole games . write 3 book series. finish sculptures. do costumes. make outfits. game videos. make#stable network of social connections. do my little side crafts. take care of myself and cats. pay rent. manage health issues. keep a routin#.try to make some sort of money. go to doctors appointments. handle regular maintenance like cleaning and cooking and self care#and buying new plates when old ones break or etc. make sure to do other things like backup my computer data regularly. do shopping lists.#take care of plants. pursue like 6 different academic interests. do the other side side projects I have for fun (like music or carving avoc#ado pits). eat in a healthy way thats okay for my Special Health Issue diet. exercise so i don't die early. etc. etc. etc. AND all while it#82F in my apartment all the time and I have tiny income and also need to move to another country/climate somehow??? lol......#ANYWAY.. ..very frustrated today over my chronic Tired Sleepy.. time for Cat Photos - which cure all of life's ailments lol

Aro culture is buying pride merch with the agender flag because people always forget about us
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#honestly i am always curious for widely available pride merch which demographics are more likely to be financially worth producing for#like. in the sense of 'if you could theoretically have infinite identities represented and every new identity who asked for a product had#a high quality image of their flag from which you could produce your product... which identities buy more?#i assume more well-known identities are... well. more accessible to the average person#but i've heard periodically that certain flags are hard to justify designing products for due to the cost analysis of design/production#versus the likelihood of them being bought#though i think that *primarily* effects small businesses in which you pre-order a certain amount of a product in order to sell#not made-to-order products#(science brain go brr)

An Anon keeps asking me for some money for period products and other life essentials but doesn't identify themselves or send a link. I'm worried about you, Anon!
I need your Amazon wishlist link, or a Paypal address, or physical address to ship goods or a cheque to. There's an e-mail address on my AO3 profile, which is linked from the pinned post at the top of my Tumblr, if you want to take it private.
#inbox shenanigans#when in funds i will buy people things i have that they don't#especially period products & food & study tools & adaptive aids & medication#but i gotta know where to send stuff

idk who needs to hear this but period underwear is a godsend and if you can access and afford it, you should get some. it's way more comfortable and less nasty to deal with than disposable products
#ive been wearing thinx for about a year now#and this one brand i got a five-pack off amazon from called neione(?) for lighter days that can pair w other products if needed#it depends on ur flow and what u get. right? it's annoying to look around and see how many brands on amazon#are like. not actually meant to be worn by themselves to bleed freely in#i don't currently own enough pairs that i never use disposable products at all anymore#but i usually only do like. one day out of my cycle on average#and that day im always like 'ew gross'#it's much more comfortable not to have to worry about it not to mention better for the environment#if u live in the us then they sell thinx at target and ive seen them at cvs too#if u dont wanna buy online#anyway im just sayin!#if uve been thinking about taking the dive and buying period underwear this is your sign#tales from diana#menstruation cw#the only annoying thing is that a lot of brands also cant go into the dryer (including thinx) (that was one of the reasons i got neione)#anyway it's great. i would never switch back to only using disposable products#and im far too much of a wuss to try cups. like far far too much#i just ordered a heavy-flow two-pack from a brand i havent tried before (tiichoo) and theyre boyshorts#bc one of the most annoying things about the heavy-flow thinx isnt that it doesnt absorb enough#but if u sleep in them. depending on your position and gravity. they can still leak (in the bikini cut)#hoping that a boyshort cut will solve that problem#<3

whenever I have spare change, and I find myself in a bathroom with a period product dispenser, I put a few quarters in the slot
even if I don’t need some myself, a woman who finds herself needing it but doesn’t have change can get some. yeah, some people might steal it, but they’ll use it.
and someday someone might see it and get the thing they need
spread kindness wherever you go, in whatever way you can. even if it’s just a couple of cents.
#I’ve found myself needing a sanitary product and not able to buy one because I didn’t have change#I don’t want other people to be in that position#periods#period poverty#ezuri speaks

still not over that one vid of someone being Disgusted finding "6-in-one" bodywash/shampoo/conditioner/etc in a guys bathroom. like girl thats just soap. soap has many uses. the rest is marketing. calm the fuck down
#everyone needs to Think About It and realize the sudden branching of Specific Kinds Of Soap#during the Product Explosion period of earlymid america#is capitalism inventing problems to sell you solutions#and youre buying into it so hard youre associating Not buying into it with uncleanliness!!!

People love to complain about men's products being "better" because misogyny or something and that's just ...not true. They're different in that they're designed with different goals in mind because in general men and women tend to have different requirements from the products they use.
you know there actually is a meaningful difference between 'men's' and 'women's' deodorant beyond the selection of scents. 'mens' plays better with pit hair and doesn't pill up in it and 'womens' tends to have a more powdery finish to help prevent chafing. so really the two genders are actually hairy and bald.
#this is different from the pink tax#the pink tax is partly just women having higher standards#and partly needing to buy things men don't#ranging from period products to simply needing to update your wardrobe because women's fashions change faster than men's fashions#also it sometimes is a literal tax#like when period products are taxed

I saw a tiktok talking about the massive shortage of feminine hygiene products in Gaza.
The only charity right now that seems to be helping with this shortage is called Motherbeing
Motherbeing is an organization based on education and providing assistance in healthcare for Arab women.
They recently donated 200,000 sanitary pads as women have been taking dangerous measures to delay their periods out of fear of toxic shock syndrome.
In case you are unaware, toxic shock syndrome is a possibly life threatening infection that develops from wearing a feminine hygiene product, usually tampons or cups, for too long.
They currently don’t have donations open, but people are trying to get them to. There’s products you can buy from their website, however.
This will get like three notes, but I just came across it and I wanted to post something. When something as serious as genocide happens, people forget little things like pads and tampons, which actually can be life threatening.
If you want to donate to charities similar to this one, here’s a few I found:
-Helping Women Period: provides pads and tampons to women (and people with uteruses) who are low income or homeless.
-The Pad Project: supplies low income women with pads all over the world.
-She Supply: provides pads and tampons for homeless women in Texas
-Free the Tampon: organization working towards making sanitary products free
-The Period Panty Project: takes physical donations of sanitary products as well as just donations for women in Ohio.
-Days for Girls: donated reusable pads to women all over the world.
There’s a lot more. Feel free to research

I've just got-got by a male DoorDash driver. I'm trying to get tampons and Midol delivered to my work (as you can imagine, it's kind of urgent). First, my driver accepted my order and drove in the opposite direction of the CVS for 10 minutes (whatever). When he finally got to the store, he told me that tampons and pads were out of stock and substituted the Midol for children's Tylenol. Then he got mad at me when I canceled the order. This guy better hope I never find him.
#If you're uncomfortable buying period products#I don't understand why you would accept an order that is only period products.
