Chapter 115 Ancient People's First Experience with Sanitary Napkins
At this moment, Bai Mengran stepped forward, assuming the identity of an immortal, and began to present the facts and reason, trying to make the ancients understand that it was by no means shameful for a woman to please herself.
"Sister Bai is right. Menstruation is a stage that every woman goes through, and it is not something to be ashamed of talking about."
Kong Nishang was the first to stand up. Actually, it wasn't entirely out of trust in Bai Mengran, but because she genuinely felt that what Sister Bai said made sense.
From the first time she had her period, she would always experience abdominal bloating and pain during those few days of her menstrual period, which made her feel listless all the time.
In addition, she always felt uneasy every time she used a menstrual pad, afraid that leakage would occur if she moved too much, so she was always on edge.
These past few days, she's been feeling down, thinking about her period approaching.
In the past, she would stay at home and rest quietly during her period, and those few days each month were the most agonizing time for her.
Kong Nishang has been sighing lately whenever she thinks about this matter, and the thought of not being able to come to the fairyland to eat and play for a few days.
Her family was considered relatively wealthy, and her father, as an official of the imperial court, naturally enjoyed a high salary and benefits.
Even for a woman like her, all she could use was a menstrual belt lined with cotton. Because it was inconvenient to change and wash, she was lucky if she could change it every day.
Like most women from poor families, they could only afford menstrual belts made of wood ash or similar materials, and they could only change them a few times a year...
However, in the year or so since Kong Nishang first menstruated, she has gradually gotten used to it, and each time she just hopes to get through those three to five days quickly.
After hearing what Sister Bai said today, she suddenly saw hope.
If we really had this convenient sanitary napkin that could replace the inconvenient menstrual belt, wouldn't women be able to move freely during their periods?
That way, even if she's suffering from severe abdominal pain, she can still go out for some fresh air and eat something warm to ease her mood.
As soon as Kong Nishang thought of this, her previous worries vanished.
She was the first to arrive at the order screen. "I want to buy sanitary napkins! I believe these sanitary napkins will definitely bring us a better menstrual experience."
When Kong Nishang saw the price on the order screen, she exclaimed in surprise, "Such a good product is not expensive at all! You can buy ten pieces for only 25 coins!"
She called out to the few people who were still hesitating beside her, "Sisters, come and buy it! It's just a matter of skipping two cups of milk tea."
Kong Nishang placed an order for four packs, thinking that her mother would need them too, and that she could use them every month anyway.
Once someone took the lead, the others couldn't resist joining in and started to act as well.
Xiao Ba directed customers who had paid to watch a video on the information screen, which contained detailed instructions on how to use the product.
Actually, this method is not complicated at all. As long as you watch the video and have an impression of it, you will naturally know how to use it next time.
He Yuejiao was only twelve years old and hadn't started menstruating yet, but she still bought two packets to give to her mother.
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, this sign says I can try it out..."
Just then, a young woman approached Xiao Ba and timidly asked, "I'm... can I have one to try first?"
The Bao family was not wealthy, but the couple were loving and had a pair of adorable twin sons.
She and her husband were a loving couple. Her husband worked as a long-term laborer, and he was hardworking and diligent, which earned him the appreciation of his employer. In her spare time, she would make embroidery and sell it to nearby embroidery workshops or neighbors. Because of her exquisite craftsmanship, she was very popular.
The family earned a little over two taels of silver each month, and after deducting daily expenses, they could save a few hundred coins. They carefully saved the remaining money for a rainy day.
Unlike wealthy ladies who can buy whatever they want, Mrs. Bao felt extremely happy and satisfied even just browsing.
This morning, she took the embroidery she had finished over the past two weeks to an embroidery shop near Huanxi Street and exchanged it for more than a hundred coins.
She was overjoyed to receive her wages, but then felt a little hungry and decided to go out for a nice meal.
Just now, the embroidery shop owner told her that a magical shop had opened at the end of this Happy Street, and all the food sold there was delicious.
She decided to go over and have breakfast before returning.
When she arrived at the entrance, she saw that it was very lively outside with long queues. She quickly joined the queue and went inside.
Wow, this place is so beautiful!
Ms. Bao wandered around and explored the entire fairyland. Just looking at the sights made her feel happy.
Then she went into the restaurant and ordered a bowl of affordable scallion oil noodles. After taking a bite, she felt dizzy with delight.
After finishing the noodles, Ms. Bao followed the trend and bought a cup of hot milk tea to drink, which made her feel even more satisfied.
After finishing his milk tea outside the milk tea shop, Mr. Bao was just about to go back when the announcement of the opening of the Daily Necessities Store came on.
Driven by curiosity, she couldn't resist going to take a look, since it didn't cost any money anyway.
However, after arriving at the Daily Necessities Shop, her hands gradually became out of her control.
I want to buy shampoo!
I want to buy shower gel!
Towels, buy two...
She had already spent all the money she had just received that day. Hearing that there were some good things upstairs, she couldn't resist going up again, thinking to herself that this time she absolutely couldn't spend any more money.
After listening to the explanation, I realized that what they were selling was actually much better than menstrual pads.
She was currently menstruating, and although the flow wasn't heavy, wearing a menstrual belt was still uncomfortable. Fortunately, she never suffered from menstrual cramps, so it didn't interfere with her activities too much.
Seeing all those ladies and young women placing orders, she felt a strong urge to do the same.
When Ms. Bao saw that it said she could try it for free, and since she was menstruating at the time, her eyes lit up. She finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"Of course! Any customer who is menstruating can come here to pick up a sanitary napkin."
Please try it for free on the spot; you'll know how effective it is as soon as you use it.
Xiao Ba smiled and handed a sample sanitary napkin to Bao Shi, gesturing for her to come to the "Sanitary Napkin Experience Room" next door and go inside to use it.
They even thoughtfully prepared a small black paper bag and handed it to her so she could change her menstrual pad.
When Mr. Bao received it, he felt that the piece was incredibly light and soft. Could such a thin piece really work?
She had carefully observed how to use the sanitary napkin, so after going in, she quickly found a way to stick the sanitary napkin to her underwear and carefully put her pants back on.
The experience room is equipped with a sit-down toilet, so you can sit on it and slowly tinker with it without any effort.
The moment she put it on, Ms. Bao finally experienced firsthand how soft and comfortable the sanitary napkin was.
It was so tightly wrapped that it felt as if it had become one with the body, without causing any discomfort.
Ms. Bao tried to walk around a few steps in the inner room, but the sanitary napkin did not move or come off due to her movements; it remained firmly wrapped in place.
She opened the door in surprise and came out. Many ladies who had already ordered sanitary napkins were curious and asked her about her experience using them.
"It feels so soft and comfortable against the skin, this sanitary napkin truly lives up to its reputation. It's so comfortable! You can move around freely as soon as you put it on, as if you've never had your period."
"Is it really that good? Then I'll buy a few more packs!"
After trying it out, Mr. Bao finally couldn't resist and bought one for himself.
Sigh, we've gone way over budget. She'll have to stay up all night embroidering...
