“Periods aren’t just an issue for women, as trans men and non-binary people may also have a womb and periods,” the company Vuokkoset said in a press release this month.
The product, called “Tampons for Men,” is sold in a navy blue box that says “For Men” and “Struation” wrapped around another side, reading “For Menstruation.”
