period products

Feminine hygiene items

Period products are items used to absorb or collect menstrual blood—tampons, pads, menstrual cups, and similar goods.

The term emerged as a neutral category for what were once called "feminine hygiene products" or "sanitary products": The store stocks period products in aisle seven.

Discussions of period products often involve issues of accessibility, taxation, and stigma.
