First of all, what is a tampon? A tampon, also known as a tampon, or a tampon for short, is a cotton cylinder that can be inserted into the vagina for absorption when a woman has her menstruation. Menstrual blood. Tampons are an alternative to sanitary napkins. Tampons are generally divided into catheter-type and finger-type. Catheter-type tampons were invented in 1929 by Dr. Earle Haas of Denver, USA. They applied for a patent in 1931 and were launched in the United States in 1936. At present, tampons are mainly popular in Western countries such as Europe and the United States. They were popular in China for a period of time in the early days, but their popularity was not high at that time. With the development of science and technology and social progress, people slowly began to accept tampons again. The benefits of tampons It has also been gradually discovered by people, and people's ideas have gradually changed.
Compared with the hot, wet and sticky conditions of sanitary napkins, tampons are much more comfortable to use. Tampons are small and tight cylindrical absorbent bodies that can be built deep into the vagina to absorb from the source. Now they are designed to be bionic. The "bud-type" medical-grade catheter has a pearl-like smooth catheter, which is different from the early ob-tube that was difficult to push with finger push. The current catheter has a fine texture and is easy to insert. The tampon has reduced the contact area with the body and is more refreshing and breathable. It does not leak, makes movement more convenient, and there are no restrictions on dressing. Tampons are highly absorbent and individually packaged, so you don’t need to touch them with your hands when using them, making them more hygienic and safer.
Why are so few people in our country using tampons that are so easy to use?
I think it is mainly a matter of our concepts. Many people in Chinese education have a feudal view of sex and feel that sex should not be discussed. In biology classes, when it comes to female reproduction, they avoid it. Talking about it, many little girls came to their aunt out of nowhere and told their mothers. Mothers habitually use sanitary napkins for their children. It seems that no one has ever asked why they only have sanitary napkins and no other options? As for the things that we also find difficult to talk about, we don’t understand our own bodies at all, so that many people’s first reaction after knowing a tampon is to pee. This biology class is not taught, but we should also know Well, the urethra and vagina are separate. Regarding the virginity complex, everyone is still concerned about whether tampons will break their virginity. If used properly, it will not happen. The hymen is not a sealed membrane. Our biology teachers also do this. Not taught? Or are we too embarrassed to listen?
It is our lack of understanding of the private parts of the body that makes us unable to accept too close contact between tampons and the body, and also creates a kind of rejection, thinking that if something goes into the private parts, it is dirty. When using a tampon, you don’t need to touch it with your hands. The menstrual blood is directly absorbed by the tampon. This avoids the growth of bacteria and is actually more hygienic.
