Poor babies! They deserve every bit of backlash they've received.
To their credit, they did apologize and promise to do better moving forward, and refrained from defensive mansplaining.

Two German men decided to create a pink disposable period glove so people don't get menstrual blood on their hands when removing tampons and other period products.
Pinky Gloves was originally designed so period products could be disposed of properly and more discreetly.
The founders said after they moved into a "women's flat" they noticed there was "no good solution when it came to the disposal of tampons."
