What do you get when you cross vintage Super Mario and women’s sanitary products?
You get Tampon Run – the latest computer game to hit the glorious pot of wonder that is the Interwebz:
Tampon Run is the brainchild of two computer geniuses, Andy and Sophie. According to their website, they are high school students from New York City, who met at Girls Who Code – an organisation which is “trying to close the gender gap in tech.”
That’s awesome enough. But when they decided to take their skills and devote an entire game to tampons collecting and shooting tampons?
Hero status: Attained.
Here’s how the game works:
What’s that? You want to play this game IMMEDIATELY? Well. Step right this way…

Menstuation is such a taboo topic, but is such a big part of the life of half the population,(as well affecting the other half of the population, eventhough they probably don't realise to the extent). Creating a game and hopefully having a large number of people would be normalizing something that is actually normal, but I doubt it because men say 'oh I don't want to talk (or think) about that women stuff.'
