Osaka store catering to menstrual goods has staff wear badges saying if they're on their period

Not only are they opening up a store dedicated to women’s sexuality and period needs, but they’re also striving to lower the stigma of menstruation by having staff members wear badges saying if they’re on their period.
▼ The character on the period tag is Seiri-chan, Japan’s mascot for periods, who has original manga and other goods available in the store too.
In addition to menstrual goods, the store also has underwear, medicine, herbal tea, cosmetics, bedding materials, and of course, adult toys for women.
Of course what has many people talking is the “period badges” that staff can wear if they are so inclined.
And don’t forget, this store was opened by women, for women, not men.”What do you think?
