A Dutch feminist practices free bleeding

Free bleeding is the practice of menstruating without blocking or collecting the period flow. In recent years it has become a subject of public debate.[1]

History

The movement started in the 1970s as a reaction to toxic shock syndrome, a rare and sometimes fatal condition that can be caused when bacteria grow in tampons worn to absorb menstrual bleeding.[2] It regained popularity in 2014 as a result of a prank originating on the internet site 4chan.[3] Kiran Gandhi ran in the London Marathon while free bleeding as a symbolic act to combat menstrual stigma around the world.[4][5] The movement focuses on women's and gender minorities' own comfort.[6]

Products

Free bleeding underwear, a result of the free bleeding movement, has received media attention.[7] These products are in response to the use of tampons.[8]
