‘Plain stupid’

But many women refuse to buy into free bleeding, suggesting that it’s “unhygienic” and “gross.”

One Redditor asks, “Why would I stain my clothes (and potentially sheets and furniture) and then spend time to clean and scrub them with anti-blood stain product that will eventually damage my clothes when we live in a modern era with plenty of menstrual product made to catch blood?”

“Gross! The cost of damaging your furniture, sheets, clothing, car seats for free bleeding is not worth it! It is plain stupid,” writes a second.

A third, who calls herself a “feminist” and a “hippie,” explains that she “just can’t see how anyone would feel liberated doing this.” “I cannot think of a single valid reason. I can just think of other ways to feel feminine and spiritual without my entire lower half being sticky lol. It’s also worth noting that I’m a hippie lol I still just don’t really understand,” the netizen writes.

While it may be empowering for some, it’s impractical or even unhygienic for others. And as always, what works for one person doesn’t work for everyone.
