If I ever checked my menstrual pad and saw something blue there instead of red, I think I would infarct! So, why do so many makers of "feminine sanitary supplies" feel the need to demonstrate menstruation with blue dye? Is the blue dye supposed to make us feel less ashamed of our monthly bleeding? Did someone - somewhere in the great marketing sky decide that women and the world at large would feel better if blue dye was used to demonstrate effective menstrual pads and tampons?
Why do they think we need to see any demonstration at all of how pads or tampons work or absorb menstrual blood? I am not really sure. But you can never be too careful with directions when it comes to menstruating females I suppose!
Frankly - I have been on a menstruation rant for a few days now. There is simply not enough real information out there for women about their menstrual flow. What is normal - and what is not normal. And what if our menstruation doesn't feel normal to us? What then? Talk about it?
