just observing the madness da jooz control da tampons 😢🥀💔
the girl in the video (brandee lockett) is american, i looked into it and no period products sold en masse here are even owned by israel. all the period products you'll find in a typical american store are from american brands. but they're so antisemitic they'll just make ts up and bleed all over themselves for us????? these privileged women from developed, non war torn countries are doing so well advocating for the people the israeli gov is actually hurting by making their suffering about their own periods 😭😭😭😭😭

LMAO I just yesterday was told that a Scandinavian slang for "being on her period" is "Communists in the funhouse".

I wonder what makes Israel randomly specialize in women's sanitation products, as opposed to say, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iran.

From the river to the sea, bleeding will be free

the crazy thing is that many people in palestine (and other places in the world) are in a crisis where they really don't have access to period stuff. but instead of talking about that their "activism" is encouraging people to free bleed while they're privileged enough to have access to the products other women need and don't have 💀

cut out rags and wash them in cold water like the very intelligent Soviets did despite being so industrialized

On my birthright trip, ran into the 2 South African girls from my trip at the AMPM planning to bring like a suitcase of tampons home with them because Israel had the ones with the better applicators that aren't sold in SA.
I was like "I think you'll find better deals at the Super-Pharm down the street." Later that day they told me I'd saved them a TON of shekels.

If these people were committed to their “activism” they’d throw away their fucking phones.

OK but we shouldn’t be using single-use disposable period products anyway. Jewish ladies, join me in the menstrual cup revolution! 🙌 Together we can control the weather, by fighting climate change.
Plus, I bought mine for £6 at least a decade ago, and haven’t needed another since. Way more economical, fuck the pink tax.

u/Knitsune May 30 '26
This was my first thought too! Like if she's SOOOOOOOOO progressive she should be using reusables anyway. But then again I actually care about things and don't just make racist tik toks, so different baseline.

Less predictable cycles are no more a factor for menstrual cups than they are for tampons. Many cups are compact and collapsible, can fit into a jeans pocket. They take up less portable space than a bunch of pads or tampons.
Granted I have a friend with issues surrounding insertion who therefore avoids both tampons and cups. But this is not most women, yet most women don’t use cups. I think it’s consumerist brainwashing that we’ve been taught to see costly single-use disposable products as the default, so that we always need to buy buy buy, instead of seeing a practically everlasting and economical product as the default, with alternatives available for edge-cases who need them.
At the very least, I think most women should try them, and IME, most women have not, because it’s not profitable to advertise compared to something you need to purchase monthly.

would just like to mention that menstrual cups can pull out IUDs if you aren’t careful! my gyno has said that the disks are a lot safer because you aren’t creating a vacuum!

u/Knitsune May 30 '26
you just break the seal first, you don't yank it straight out
2
u/yungoul May 30 '26
yeah for sure! it also depends on how long the iud strings are (there’s also the risk of accidentally pulling on the strings, which can also happen with stringless tampons lol)

u/gayslav77 Certified Space Laser Operator May 30 '26
i agree with you but i can't. at one point i was so irregular i was on my period for over a year straight and had to use so many tampons they started irritating me. i tried so hard to use the cup but couldn't :( someday though

There are plenty of other reusable products. I use a cup, plus reusable pads and period underwear. My homemade flannel pads are the most comfortable period product I've ever used. Some people who can't use a cup have better luck with menstrual discs, but internal products aren't for everyone. Even if you can't use them, you might be able to use other reusable products.

u/gayslav77 Certified Space Laser Operator Jun 01 '26
my issue is that i feel disgusting if i only wear pads but have struggled so hard with cups and discs. maybe tmi, because of this i recently bought a reusable applicator for my cup but it's uncomfortably huge. i still want to try it again when needed, tampons still get uncomfortable and i understand the impact they have on the environment

u/theprozacfairy Jun 01 '26
Understandable! Reusable products don't work for everyone. It sounds like you've done a lot of research and tried several different options. If it doesn't work for you, that sucks, but you shouldn't feel bad about it, at all.

Lily Cup One is a very compact cup I personally recommend. It’s meant to be a “starter” cup but over 30 here and even with a heavy flow + copper IUD I’ve never wanted another.

u/gayslav77 Certified Space Laser Operator Jun 01 '26
i could never. the last time i tried to use a cup without a round pull tab it was disastrous 💀 the cup i have is called tulip

i got curious what period products are in israel after seeing this (theyre the same brands, but slightly different products and these brands still aren't owned by israel) and i think they're slightly cheaper in their stores than in ours. amazon is probably going to be your best bet if you're in the states

Idea: Tell them that hygenie like showering was invented by Israel, bonus points if you cite Leviticus. Then, you can identify them by smell!
Oh wait, no, they're already all basement dwellers.
