Agile carefree women dressed in white… dancing in a field… gleefully. Any of this sound familiar? Directed by Edgar Wright, Pharrell's music video for "Gust of Wind" takes place in a forest not unlike Where the Wild Things Are and looks a lot like those unrealistic tampon ads of yore.
Have you ever been with a dude whose attitude to period sex was not merely "why not?" but active enthusiasm? Well, they're out there, and they are more than happy to pick Aunt Flow up at the airport.
"The taboo that surrounds [periods] teaches women that a normal and natural bodily function is embarrassing and crude." That's the message two teenagers want to send with their new video game, Tampon Run.
A team of bioengineers have developed a dissolvable "tampon" that delivers medication that prevents HIV minutes before having sex. Currently in clinical trials, the hope is that the product will eventually allow us all to raw dog it.
Ah, it's a tale as old as Twitter. Woman does something, assholes on the internet assail her with unwarranted, brutish tweets. Great.
Most ads for products are cheesy, ridiculous, or insulting as it is. But products specifically targeting women are often uniquely terrible, and this may ring true, in part, because those products are often designed or marketed entirely by men. But how can that still be the case?
I know, we thought we had it so good for so long, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Or in this case, all that stuff you thought was OK to dump in the toilet, AKA the Get Rid of It Bowl, was, in fact, not OK after all. You know who you are.
The women of Australia are currently bombarding their Federal Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Scott Morrison, with tampons and maxi pads. But it's for a cause!
A Florida woman, not content to play second fiddle to any Florida man, has been charged with grand theft for stealing a friend's iPad, after police say she intended to borrow some groceries and a feminine product.
Living in this day and age, one learns to accept that there are harmful chemicals in a lot of the things we surround ourselves with and ingest: there are toxins in cosmetics, in food, in cleaning products, and so on and so (terrifyingly) forth. So, while it's probably not surprising that feminine care products —…
I've been wanting to dive into the world of DIY pipes and bongs for a while now. But it's intimidating! There seems be an endless list of things that people can convert into smoking devices. Apples, soda bottles, Pringles cans, Grandma. I honestly didn't know where to start.
"My bed looks like the elevator from the shining… Contemplate, don't hate/Cause I look like Sharon Tate/or a piece of rare steak/when I masturbate." Just a few of the many amazing lines in "Shark Week," a track by a group of rappers called Hand Job Academy.
Nancy Kramer wants there to be free tampons in every bathroom in America. She's started the non-profit foundation Free the Tampons which is "committed to changing the existing social norm so that tampons and pads are freely accessible in public restrooms, just like toilet paper." You can tweet about locations you've…
Newsweek Pakistan's latest cover story is on the rise in female suicide bombers. And, so, naturally, this week's cover features the words LADY PARTS emblazoned over the image of tampons with lit fuses where the removal string would normally be. That's some TIME-level trolling, Newsweek. Kudos, I guess.
The rapidly unravelling American middle class has been super hard on big corporations. Who is going to buy their middle-of-the-road household products now that Americans are either mega wealthy or living in penury [in a van] [down by the river]? Nobody, that’s who, which means that corporations need to come up with…
This summer's hottest accessory? Tampon earrings! MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry sported a pair on air during her show this past Sunday to demonstrate her support for women in Texas. All it takes is one woman on television to wear them and next thing you know, they'll be everywhere.
Yesterday, a piece called "Are Tampons Anti-Feminist?" ran on The Daily Beast's designated ladypage, and the pink aisle of the internet collapsed upon itself and formed a pulsating estrogen singularity from which not even light can escape. We have vagina'd ourselves into a corner, ladies.
You know how shoving a tampon up your vulva isn't the highlight of your month? Well, it could've been, but pesky Catholics thought your unnecessary pawing of That Which Is Most Sacred would get you too damn excited (correct!), so they added stupid applicators to ruin the fun.
Anyone who's ever lived in a Mansion (or Apartment) (or Shack) (or House) has probably dealt with some crooked owner action. And while many landlords are law-abiding citizens like you and me, some are also dodgy motherfuckers like you and me. It's next to impossible to know when you're picking a place to live what…
We have discussed menstrual cups before, but we've never actually seen a commercial outlining what makes them so great. In this video out of the UK, two gangs — Team Tampon and Mooncup Crew — face off in the ladies room of a club. Team Tampon starts talking shit right off the bat: "You sound like something that came…
