» Red - amazing... Sharon,This information is amazing. I truly loved reading about how women of the past coped with this problem. I wish 2 tablespoons of blood was all I lost when I was still menustrating. I never had that privledge. When I had my hysterectomy, the doctor was afraid it would cause psychological problems. I was jumping up and down yelling "Yippee." LOL Thanks for covering such a delicate subject. Not many would have tackled it. -- posted by Red » phoehne - Re: amazing... In response to message posted by Red:Sharon, I have often wondered what the pioneer women did. Not so much those who were settled in one place, but those traveling across the country by wagon train or whatever. The changes in attitudes are amazing as well. Even just since I was a girl. One certainly never talked about it then. My mother would not even talk to her daughters about it. The whole thing was a totally hush-hush subject. No wonder there has been so much misinformation. -- posted by phoehne » swest - I'm amazed, too. When I first thought of doing this article, I had no idea how amazing the information would be. I think most women wonder about this.I tried to find out when advertising started for menstrual pads and tampons on television. I remember being shocked and embarrassed the first time I saw one, especially if male members of my family were present. But I was unable to find the date when this started. Nowadays, it is common to see these commercials. I often laugh about my first period when my mother had me use my brother's jock strap for a sanitary belt. Oh, the things we women did to get along in life! Thanks for your comments! -- posted by swest
