I bet not many will.
Go on then 😉 Obviously because you're such a just soul, you'll be taking part as well 😛
of course i wouldn't take part - i don't agree with the choice she made, i see plenty wrong with it, i don't believe anyone has the right to infllict their bodily fuids on others, unless they consent of course, and lasty - I'm not a guttersnipe.
How is she inflecting her bodily fluids on anyone? The blood is closely confined to a small section of her own body. It is not "flowing down her legs" and "into her shoes" as has been suggested on this thread. How is it "unhygenic" and I still don't get what possible "fungal infection" she could get from this?
There is a small patch on her tights. This wouldn't even be noticeable if she had black tights on.
Compare this to that other bodily fluid - sweat. Which would have been flowing extremely freely on most of the runners that day. And unlike the fluids from this woman, sweat would likely have 'splashed' on other runners.
How is that not more "gross"?
Oh that's right, sweat is natural and periods are taboo...which of course is part of the point she was making.
Personally I wouldn't do what she did. I would be too embarassed (again, part of the point that she was making) but well done to her for bringing a hidden subject out into the open.
However, I have had to remove a painful tampon midway through a 2 hour strenuous hike once so I understand what it means to be uncomfortable because of products at that time of the month.
It's just not possible to have used something for a 5 hour marathon. She isn't a professional athlete. She was not expecting to get her period THAT day. But she did what was best for her that day and started people talking.
I can see possible fungal infection happening there, think about it, sweat, blood, chaffing, heat, 5+ hours. After that long wearing those type of sports leggins, you'd be very irritated down there I reckon. May not be a fungal infection but it would surely be a bit of a mess and verging on unhygenic, most likely smelly etc... Not saying it's unnatural just a little bit yuck.
And imo the way sanitary pads are so absorbant these days and somne are so thin, 5 hours in the same pad wouldn't cause excessive chaffing in those type of pants, and by the look of it, she definately wasn't on a heavy flow day...
