‘Boycott Tampax’ Starts Trending on Twitter
Following the publication of this post, some users launched the trending phrase “Boycott Tampax” on Twitter to show their displeasure with the message.
#BoycottTampax Peak Patriarchy: A corporation that sells women’s items insults its whole consumer base and believes this is acceptable, one user said. You are the creepiest.

“Sexualizing a product that youngsters must use in real life. Gross. Disgusting. Boycott Tampax, another person urged.

Users Come to Defend the Brand
Several additional people came up to defend the brand in the midst of the storm.
I won’t #BoycottTampax, one user remarked.
One more comment: “The joke about Tampax doesn’t upset me in itself – I say a lot worse – but it’s strange that the official account tweeted it. It was grim, but it made me smile.
Imagine being upset by a crude joke that a tampon manufacturer posted on Al Gore’s website. Another person said, “Yes, I’m talking to you, #BoycottTampax people.
Others, though, backed the company’s choice to work with Dylan, a popular TikTok user, writing: “I truly appreciate Tampax showcasing its welcoming side, thus I’m not going to #BoycottTampax. I adore Dylan and am happy that she took home the Bridgerton Ball. Such a beacon of hope in the midst of hatred.
One more stated: “I can assure you that when I buy a box of Tampax, I’m not thinking about Dylan & Jeffrey Marsh. I’m not going to #BoycottTampax. Like most women, I’m considering if I’ll be able to run on the beach, ride horses, and plunge my hands into beakers of blue liquid.
