I am a Gynecologist. Mensrual bleeding is obviously something completely foreign to men. Over the past 28 years, I have heard hundreds of stories relating to the inadequate management of menstrual bleeding. Few things are more embarrassing than bleeding through one’s garments. Incarcerated women need access to feminine hygiene products and they shouldn’t have to jump through humiliating hoops to get them.
