I& #39;m convinced the & #39;most menstrual cycles produce 2 Tbls of blood& #39; was a conclusion reached by a bunch of men who measured 1 (one) persons period and were like "ew thats enough research, we& #39;re done here"
Some people& #39;s cycles are closer to a light spattering for 2 days. And some people cannot make the 2 hour drive to work without overflowing a heavy pad for 5 days.

And then these studies say "the average is 2 tbls"

Like-- this conclusion may technically be correct??
But?~!?!?!
These two extremes are both normal-- So telling people who have periods "the average amount of blood is 2 Tbls" IS INCREDIBLY MISLEADING.

Sup, uterus& #39; might have a light sneeze each month, or it might look like a scene from 300
lmao, a period is made of 50% blood and 50% Other Stuff. Measure the whole thing you cowards.

It& #39;s not like people with periods use menstrual products like & #39;Oh, I only need 1 tampon because I& #39;m only collecting the blood!& #39;

who tf is in charge of these studies -- OH WAIT https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Face with rolling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Face with rolling eyes">
