When I was young, menstruation felt not only strange but somehow wrong. Our culture does not really acknowledge the diversity of menstruating individuals

For transgender men, period pains are not just physical. They are a monthly reminder that the sex assigned to them at birth doesn’t match who they truly are.
This feeling is further enhanced by how periods and period products are viewed in our culture: as a ’women’s thing’.
Not everyone who menstruates is a woman; transgender men and non-binary individuals may have periods too. To break this outdated belief, Vuokkoset is launching Tampon for Men on Transgender Awareness Week.
It’s time to include men in menstruation.
