The Evolution of Feminine Products

The topic of menstruation can be very uncomfortable for most people. Men, in particular, seem disturbed by the mere mention of it. But it's no cake walk for the ladies, who must put up with the inconvenience and discomfort and mess of it all, every single month of their fertile lives, unless they're pregnant. Thank heaven that feminine products have evolved to the point that a woman isn't forced to bring her life to a grinding halt once a month; now, thanks to products such as tampons and pain relievers and diuretics, menstruation is nothing more than a nuisance.
Just going back one generation, there is quite a difference in feminine products. Yes, there were tampons and panty-liners, but they weren't the "scented," "plastic applicator," "comfort weave"or"our thinnest ever" type of products that are available today. And if we go back one more generation, we're talking about sanitary napkins attached to the loops of a girdle worn under underclothes. In addition to being awkward and uncomfortable to wear, they were also difficult to camouflage. And you thought visible panty lines were a problem!
One can only imagine the inconveniences menstruating women had to deal with in the days before tampons and disposable sanitary napkins. If you look back far enough in history, you'll find menstrual huts, which housed an entire tribe of menstruating women each month (probably at the same time of the month, since cohabiting women tend to run on the same menstrual cycle).
Feminine products today are much more convenient, both in size and function, than anything previously available to women. And now, thanks to the internet, they can be purchased without making an embarrassing trip to the store. Multiple websites offer online purchasing of everything from tampons to condoms to personal lubricants. It's never been easier to be a menstruating woman.
