First Tampon For Transgender Women To Hit The Shelves Next Month
A small southern California company which produces “earth-friendly” feminine hygiene products has released the first tampon for post-op transgender women. The Sappho-Luxe company has released a product dubbed “Fem-Flo” earlier this week amid media attention surrounding Caitlin Jenner’s coming out as a trans-woman. Company founder, Cheryl Goldsmith, said about the product’s timing, “It certainly was a interesting coincidence, but not intentional. The additional exposure does not hurt, and regardless of the timing, we feel as if our product will be well received amongst the trans community. We are hoping to bring each trans-woman closer to the full female experience and diminish body dysmorphia triggers altogether.” The product comes in 3 designs. “Fem-Flo Petite” is for the trans-woman who is still working to achieve maximum dilation, yet still wants to produce menses. “Fem-Flo Intermediate” provides dilation and an average amount of menstruation. And last, but not least, the “Fem-Flo Lush” for the trans-woman who wishes to enjoy “heavy” menstruation. "Our product is designed to give post-op trans-gender women the full-spectrum experience of menstruation. You don’t have to be deprived of the beautiful and womanly occurrence of menstruation merely because you were born without uterus. The Fem-Flo’s cotton core contains a small, vegetable-based capsule which upon reaching body temperature releases the “menses” contained within. It also aids in keeping the post-op canal conditioned and dilated after surgery and beyond.”
Fem-Flo tampons will come in boxes of 25 and cost around $19.99 per box. Sappho-Luxe will begin shipping their product to major grocery stores nationwide next month

Christ, getting a period sucks- why would any woman, natural born or transgendered, want a counterfeit? You may as well get a fake hysterectomy.

Does it come with blood clots too?

Holy what the fuck. Sticking something up inside of you that will leak out is far from having a period.

It's still not the full experience without excruciating stomach cramps, joints aching, fever, diarrhea, chills and the occasional vomiting. Does it have Drano in it?
Seriously, it makes sense that this would work for dilation. Knowing the arrogance of some mtf's though, they're going to start saying period cramps are all in women's' heads because they don't have any.

Even though it's a hoax, it's completely believable.
I've seen many complaints from women about trannies trying to get into women's health clinics and wasting everyone's time.

Sounds like something you buy for a little girl's doll to teach her about Aunt Flo

When it's activated, does it smell like a combination of wet dog, rotting hamburger and FDS?

READ this rather long 'open letter' if you dare.....why transwomen should be able to go to feminist health clinics etc and transMEN somehow do not belong there.

r20 here, that whole cisnormativity blog is a gold mine of triggers, cismurderers, and the idea that children should be able to transition at age 3 and 4...

R30, it's sick that these people keep fighting so hard for the girl to remain a vegetable. If they're religious at all, they shouldn't fear a peaceful death and then heaven.

Why don't transmen get any press? Why do M2Fs get all the attention?
Why aren't the hoaxers coming up with MAN TAMPONS, for for the F2M who hasn't had a hysterectomy?

R34, it may be a hoax now, but just wait.
Maybe "man tampons" will be camo.
