      ab: Consumer experiences in the consumption of menstrual products and the factors that underpin consumer vulnerability in the consumption process have largely been overlooked in marketing research. This research addresses this gap by examining consumer experiences of vulnerability in the consumption of menstrual products in a developing country context. Data from in-depth interviews and netnography reveals women's embodied experiences of vulnerability, with structural barriers, such as regulatory gaps and exclusionary marketing practices adversely affecting the women's physical and emotional well-being. Contributions to consumer vulnerability literature and implications for health marketing and policy are discussed.
