This post needs appropriate music. I’ve been hearing this the whole time

Your euphemisms are nauseating. If you can’t even say the words period or menstruation you should not be commenting on an article about tampons. Yes, that time of the month where women bleed out of their vagina because their uterine lining is shedding.
