Your body, your choice. Bottom line and no questions asked. Especially when it comes to hygiene products a person uses. But this story a woman shared on the AITA subreddit is about everything but that, and her husband’s wish to control her crossing personal boundaries.
“My husband Ryan hates them, he never truly gave a reason other than just say… he doesn’t feel comfortable with me using them,” the author wrote, referring to tampons that she started using recently. Turns out, Ryan hates tampons so much that he even threw away the whole box when he found it hidden.
That’s when the author had enough. “I lost it and told him he had no right to do this and told him to get over himself already,” she said and asked people in the community if she was right to yell at him like this. Read her whole story below, and be sure to share your thoughts about this whole situation in the comment section.

It’s no secret that the gap in men’s knowledge of women’s and trans people’s menstrual cycles is concerning. Recently, Intimina commissioned a study which was conducted by YouGov, and it surveyed more than 1000 American males.
The study found that only 41% of men correctly identified what exactly menstruation is. In fact, 52% believed a menstrual cycle lasts anywhere between 1-6 days, when in fact a menstrual cycle is between 23-35 days. The fact was correctly identified by only 20% of men.
The same study asked respondents to describe what having a period would feel like, and 40% said they would feel physical pain. The other 36% said that a period would have no effect on them at all.
And when it comes to menstrual hygiene, the same knowledge gap, if not greater, was obvious. A whopping 65% of men surveyed said they have no idea what a menstrual cup is or how it works. Similarly, 33% of men believed a box of 36 tampons costs from $13 to $20.
And this is what people thought of this whole situation
