This book looks fascinating!

This book sounds interesting, although I’m not sure I’d want to buy it. I am also very brand loyal when it comes to these products, and have wondered why I insist on a certain brand. I think it’s more of a devil-you-know thing.

Once I took an anthropology class where I had to read a monograph about an aboriginal rainforest tribe, and one of the chapters was all about women and how they dealt with periods, marriage, etc. Since they didn’t have pads or anything, they spent their entire period squatting in the dirt! Sounded very uncomfortable.

It does contain a lot of info and is written in a very readable style. I am glad I read it… Even if I didn’t entirely agree with all the empowerment they were encouraging.

My mother was of the type that didn’t discuss these sorts of issues, and despite the fact that I have been much more open with my own daughter, I think that based on the way I was raised, periods are not something in which I want to put a whole lot of thought into. I do think that I am very thankful to have been born in a time where good and useful products are available readily though! Thanks for your very interesting review!

I have thought about what women did before modern products, and I’m with you — yeah me for being born in the 20th century!

But I don’t necessarily go for what’s cheapest either. I wonder what does influence me? The packaging? Hmmm….
