Default Aldi and Asda shoppers 'disgusted' after they rename feminine hygiene aisles

Was debated on Headliners
GBnewsHD one hour daily newspaper review
every day at 11PM


[Aldi was yesterday among the first to
update signage in stores for items
such as tampons, towels and panty liners
to now refer to them as ‘period products’ rather
than 'feminine hygiene' products.

The aisle name change will be welcomed
by campaigners, as the word 'hygiene' implies
that periods are unhygienic,
adding to negative stigma that surrounds menstruating.]


[Dominique Hincenbergs commented:
"But they are feminine hygiene products
for god sake… I honestly hate this world
we live in now."

Tracey Malone said: "In all honesty what
is wrong with naming an aisle 'Feminine hygiene'.
After all that’s exactly what the generic products
are !!!! & Not all products are just for periods!"

Some shoppers made the very real
point of period poverty.]

It does sound like a pointless name change imo.

It almost feels like our dear Supermarkets want to generate publicity for themselves when pulling stunts like this.

It's one of them, it's a pointless name change to attention seek by these Companies, but it's not also something to be crying in your sleep about either.

It's just a bizarre decision imo.

People are too easily disgusted.

Get over yourselves and go get your shopping done.

Pointless change, but also a pointless thing to moan about. Why would it even register?
