I like it when women wear underwear that isn't $47 a pop.

That way if you rip it, or lose it, or whatever... nobody cares. Plus... it's more exciting when women buy new underwear frequently. My girlfriend will text me, "I'm wearing new panties..." and I'm cutting out of work early.

Doesn't every woman carry a tampon in her purse?

Can't you just take a no-period birth control pill?

Ok, glad we're helping the girls in Africa, but wouldn't the $47 a pair be better spent directly on them if that's the real goal?



This product isn't for you, which is obvious from the astounding ignorance of your comment.

1. "Expensive underwear are bad because I gain sexual gratification from new underwear and money spent on expensive period underpants take money away from that." Could you be more self-involved? How about respecting women to know what products they want, considering they are the one actually having periods? But no, it's all about keeping your dick hard. Okay.

2. Yes. Women who use tampons carry tampons around with them. However, the way you know when your period starts is when you find blood in your panties. At which point there is already blood in your panties. You shouldn't put a tampon in prior to your period arriving as that is a) extremely uncomfortable and b) risks TSS, but wearing special underwear as a precaution seems reasonable. Also, when the tampon is full, it will leak. This can be pre-empted, but not 100% of the time, as flow varies. This is why many women wear panty liners in conjunction with tampon use. And yes, it is fucking annoying to make sure you always have a tampon with you 100% of the time, and isn't 100% successful, thanks for your concern.

3. Again, your ignorance astounds me here. For one, spotting is common with continual use of birth control. So actually these panties would be pretty helpful with that as spotting is completely unpredictable, unlike actual periods. Secondly, did you seriously just suggest that every woman who menstruates go on continual hormonal birth control as an alternative to expensive panties? You do realize that BC a)has side effects and b) costs money?

4. No, that's not the real goal. They're making a product. For people to buy. Which should be obvious. The charitable link-in is a common marketing technique.
