Netizens are 'angry' about the new rules. Some netizens said that it was not women who made the regulations, because they did not understand what women experience during menstruation.
“Imagine your menstrual cycle is going through the roof and you're on a 10 hour flight but you're only allowed to bring no more than 5 sanitary napkins. What if the blood leaks? I really found out that the one who made PerMen wasn't a woman,” wrote a netizen on X.
“Sanitary napkins… only allowed 5 pieces??? skshsjshs, are sanitary napkins expensive abroad? Have you ever been abroad and struggled to find cheap sanitary napkins,” wrote another netizen.
“Is this serious, don't you think about women who always get flooded every time they menstruate and have to change their sanitary napkins every 4 hours??? Mothers who are postpartum?????? What if you can't bring more than 5 sanitary napkins????” wrote another netizen.
“5 pieces of sanitary napkins? Bruh, you even regulate women's primary needs, hey, patriarchs are the ones who make these rules?” said another netizen.
The rule of only being able to bring five pieces of sanitary napkins certainly makes you anxious. For your information, when women are menstruating, it is recommended to change sanitary napkins as often as possible, around 3-6 times per day. If not replaced, the vaginal area can become a nest for disease germs.
