I've heard that men have a sort of cycle, obviously less obnoxious and terrible than a period, so I've told my wife when I'm feeling out of sorts in a month that "maybe I'm on my comma."

It's specifically pads or period underwear. They add bulk that the scanner detects as an abnormality.

I remember a story, probably on Tiktok, of someone on their period who was flagged. She was wearing a pad and the lady checking her didn't understand or something when she told her and started squishing her saturated sanitary napkin 🙃
