Problematic Women

Tampons, Cycle Syncing, and Guns: Female CEOs Tell All


Listen Later

Macy Maxson did not intend to become a lightning rod pushing back on the gender ideology agenda that has infiltrated so much of society, even feminine hygiene products. But when Maxon founded Garnuu, a tampon subscription company, in 2022, she wanted to affirm biological reality.


“From the beginning,” Maxson says she decided her company would stand firm on the fact “that only women can get periods.”


After Maxson launcher Garnuu, Tampax started using transgender activists, such as Dylan Mulvaney, to promote its products. Maxson said she watched as other tampon companies began moving away from feminine branding and word choice in product promotion, but Garnuu branded itself as a “girls only club.” That simple statement cost Maxson some customers who claimed stating that only women get periods was not loving.


“We're just calling it a ‘girls only club’ and it's just truth,” Maxson said. “How is that not loving? But OK, whatever, so then I just ran with it.”


While some took offense to Maxson’s firm position on biology, many more celebrated the way Garnuu upholds the dignity of women, leading to the small companies' growth.


Garnuu customers are so “supportive” that Maxson says she quit her 9-5 job and is leading the rapidly growing company full time.


Maxson joins “Problematic Women” at the Conservative Political Action Conference to discuss the challenges and rewards of launching a company, and her commitment to truth. Maxson also explains the value of cycle syncing, a process in which women strategically work with their bodies as hormone levels rise and fall during their cycle.


Also on today’s show, Alexo Athletica CEO Amy Robbins joins “Problematic Women.” Alexo Athletica is a conceal carry conducive athletic clothing brand.
