feminine product

Period care item

A feminine product is a euphemism for items used during menstruation—tampons, pads, menstrual cups, and similar supplies.

The term appears on store signage, in workplace policies, and in contexts where speakers want to avoid saying "menstrual" directly: The bathroom has a dispenser for feminine products.

Also called feminine hygiene products.
