We\u2019re in them. We are not the same,\u201d the tweet read, seemingly referencing that tampons go inside women while simultaneously bragging to any men trying to hit on them.<\/p>\n<p>Followers pointed out how teenagers or even younger girls used the brand\u2019s products as well, which they claimed made the situation even more offensive.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cwe are not the same\u201d line became popular online as a way of indicating a superior romantic or sexual relationship, which the brand was apparently trying to replicate. But their efforts weren\u2019t well received by fans. The hashtag \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/boycott\">BoycottTampax<\/a>\u201d was trending for a while, as The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/boycott\">reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA women\u2019s period products company is getting off on the idea of their products being inserted in girls and women \u2013 getting there first \u2013 while men are chatting them up hoping for sex. Overtones of rape, [pedophilia], misogyny \u2013 what a hat-trick,\u201d one person fumed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo\u2026A tampon is saying \u2013 to a dude framed as a sexual rival to the tampon \u2013 basically, \u2018hey, bro.

The comments on Tampax\u2019s retraction were still full of outrage over the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen and girls want sanitary products they can trust, not wink, wink sexualization of a basic biological function.
