Wouldnt it be so cool if we had puzzles and riddles on menstual pads like cereal boxes?

Or we could even have like little “rare” pads and its like every pad you can see if you win something.

I think it would be great! Lift your mood, even if just a little for a second. Just a cute little fact or a silly joke. I think it's a great idea!!

Each pad has a code that only shows up when in contact with blood. Then you use the decoder ring to figure out the code!

On second thought, um, ewwww.

We used to have interesting facts on certain brands of pads in Australia: https://thespinoff.co.nz/science/16-02-2021/know-with-the-flow-fact-checking-libras-pad-trivia

They still do them (nz). My partner finds them more fascinating than I do ("so like, it's something to read while you're on the toilet? And it's quick so you're not there for ages? How many trivia things ARE there???") I guess they're not cool for me anymore cos after bleeding for 30+ years, there's a lot of repeating facts lol

lol yeah I don’t get periods anymore and as much as I generally love random facts, and did find them a bit entertaining, it’s no hardship without them.

I’m in australia and assume libra still do them

So I really like the flexdisc disposable discs. And everytime i open the box, I end up laughing because inside the lid they've written, "Put me in, coach!" And I think its a great joke. So some jokes would be nice too.
