Period shorts for men who menstruate. This is awesome because having to deal with mismatched genitals is hard enough for transmen, and it's a zillion times worse when the damn thing starts bleeding. Many, though not all, transmen hate having to handle that part of their bodies. A sanitary product that does not require getting his fingers in there is enormously helpful for some guys.

My crotch and butt don't conform to anything sold in stores very well. My stylistic sweet spot is in the rough vicinity of low femme. I'd fall hard for anything that actually worked on my body and didn't set me up to be misgendered as a "man" or as a "woman". Both of those are wrong.

The product is very cool, though, and I've sent the link to a friend whose brother falls into the category of men who menstruate. (And why his insurance will pay for his hormone treatments but not for the hysterectomy that would make those more effective is beyond me!)
Well...

And then they wonder why the murder and suicide rates for transfolk are so bloody high.

(Sorry - hung out with SCAdians in college, and "period" now means "appropriate for the time frames." (I bet you knew that, but someone else might not. And if you didn't - I'm being too wordy again, aren't I?))
This also bugs me about me a bit. (Not a lot. A bit.) Because I journeyed for a woman and found her as a child, and a girl child and it was only afterward that I realized that she'd been born with male parts and raised as a boy. So there's some part of me that does understand this (at least enough not to be staggered when my guides show me truth), but it took me a too-long time to parse "men who menstruate".
(Um. Side note: talking because I'm talky today - definitely *not* asking anyone to affirm or accept my confusion/discomfort. But I do have a kind of sense that other people might be helped if they see that not everyone just snaps into immediate, perfect understanding/acceptance. And yeah, definitely talky today.)
Yes...

Actually a lot of women would probably like having those as well! Not everyone who's well-matched with their genitals likes having to deal with them when they're messy.
