Someone spotted an unfortunate design fail on this book cover
Over on Twitter Georgina Lee spotted an unfortunate design fail which she suggested could have been avoided if only a woman had been involved.
Can you spot it?
Guys, you could have avoided this mishap if just one woman had been consulted in the design process pic.twitter.com/FgTCz2UhfI

The replies might help.
Before I even read your tweet I was wondering why that book was covered in explosive tampons…

Some great period jokes in the replies here. These tampuns are super, super plus, super plus extra

I’d rather the mix up was this way around

You're right of course. It's so embarrassing when you go to blow up a small mountainside and find you've brought tampons instead.

True in general, but especially in a gynaecological context.

Not everyone appreciated the post, though.
Gee.
Male bashing
while employing
an antiquated term
ingrained by patriarchal
societies.Oh, the irony.
How. it. drips.#GlassHouses— Roman Stefano (@lovetown) April 16, 2018
So sorry to hear about your sense of humour failure. Really hope they can find a donor soon.

maybe there was a woman and she secretly thought it was hilarious

And guess what? According to this person …
The irony is this book was actually designed by a woman, so it seems the female crusade to create cultural confusion is already underway

A woman designed it, her name is Coralie Bickford-Smith. https://t.co/0X76mCbtvZ

The plot thickens. This could be dynamite!
