Say goodbye to your dreams of Pussy Power tampons, because we could've, should've, would've had Charli XCX-brand sanitary products, if it wasn't for those pesky "health regulations."
"I really wanted to make tampon merch," she told them. "That was a dream of mine for a really long time -- to have tampons that say 'Sucker' on the side and 'Pussy Power' on the box. But it's a health issue if someone's going to put it in their vagina."
But then again, one has to wonder why Kiss and U2-branded condoms, Tenacious D cum rags, Ghost B.C.'s sex toys and Rammstein-modeled dildos (eughh...I mean look at these dudes) and other sexytime encouragements were okay at the same time. Things that obviously also find their ways into vaginas in a much different, more explicit context.
Perhaps it's a matter of her audience demographics, but then again what's wrong with promoting menstruation-acceptance to her audience of young ladies on the cusp on womanhood? Fuck that, quite literally.
