Periods..?

Question

The women in tribes around the world,that no1 knows about, what would they do on their periods without tampons and such things, and theyr in the wild and stuff. i dont know why, the question just appeared in my head the other day. i mean the women who have never even met other kinds of people, that might not even know there are any more out there..

Answer 1

They make tampons out of their hair.

Answer 2

Menstruation is physiologic after the onset of menarche.

Answer 3

Apparently tribal women do not experience the 'problems' with menstruation that Western women do - they are perplexed that a woman would feel pain/ ill or really tired when she is menstruating.

It is thought to be to do with diffferent diet, activity levels, and the fact that tribal women tend to have A LOT of pregnancies, hence many fewer cycles.

I know that this does not answer the question, but Tracey already did, and how anyone can thumbs down her answer beggers belief!.

Answer 4

more over than that, take a country that has it but the poverty class can not get it. to them even the smallest things in our every day lives are a unreachable luxury.

We take these things for granted.

Answer 5

Using cloths or making tampons etc out of available material.

The ancient Egyptians used soft rolls of papyrus as tampons.

Answer 6

The same way they took care of their menstrual needs before Tampax came into being.

They use rags or absorbent plant material.

Answer 7

Sea sponges from the sea is effective and so is Mooncups.

Mooncups are better because sea sponges are live species.
