I'm a woman, and I think this needs to be renamed (and given a new logo, stat). Not because tampons make me uncomfortable, but because it seems like a cheap ploy to get attention, and it makes it more difficult for me to take the app seriously on its own merits.

I'm not a woman, and I agree. It just opens the door for lame, offensive jokes and doesn't have anything to do with the project. There probably was no negative intent, but it should be renamed.
I also agree it makes it harder to take the app on its own merits with a name that seems like such an obvious attention grab.

My point was mainly one of self reflection
