Women often get lessons from men who don’t really understand periods or female privates. A chiropractor from the US has come up with what’s being labelled as the most bizarre ‘menstrual product’. Some are even arguing if this man knows the difference between urethra and vagina.

A viral post on Facebook about “Mensez” adhesive “lipstick” is overflowing with dubious questions and jokes and its inventor Daniel Dopps has also got immense flak on the internet.

The website explains the product as:

Mensez is a proprietary combination of amino acids and natural oils in a lipstick applicator. When applied to the labia minora, it creates a temporary seal to retain menstrual fluids inside until urination. The urine instantly releases the seal and everything washes away into the toilet. It’s safe and secure for the user. Mensez is based on the theory that modern bathing habits, while helpful in most respects, wash away some protective bodily compounds that previously helped control menses (as discharge from the uterus at menstruation is known). Mensez is simply a natural replacement for those compounds.

The patent for Mensez was granted on 10 January, but the product is yet to hit the stands as we still wonder how this thing can work.

Vagina is not a bladder that can hold body fluids. Some women are reportedly arguing that the creator of this menstrual product is a misogynist who has no knowledge of female anatomy.

And no surprise that there was a volley of tweets on this absolutely unrealistic product.

Guess Mr Dopps can seal his lips with this labia glue. Thank you very much.
