Remember how candidly Anne Frank described getting her period in her famous diary?
“I can hardly wait,” she wrote. “It’s such a momentous event. Too bad I can’t use sanitary napkins but you can’t get them anymore, and Mama’s tampons can be used only by women who’ve had a baby.”
For Japanese readers in the 1960s, Anne’s enthusiasm so compellingly shattered a cultural taboo that not only did the first day of menstruation get the moniker “Anne’s Day,” but a tampon company released a tampon called—yes, exactly as you feared: Anne.

Be honest. Were you expecting "classy" when you clicked on an Anne Frank tampon thread?

It's incredible how often I see something on Reddit and then come here to see you post about it

She symbolizes the ultimate World War II victim,” Lewkowicz told JTA. “And that’s how most Japanese consider their own country because of the atomic bombs — a victim, never a perpetrator.”
Something to stop the bleeding after we bombed those pussies into oblivion.

Tbe Chinese sell a knock-off version of The Anne on Amazon. The less popular but cheaper Frankensquirter.
