WOMEN ONLY q about feminine hygiene products

[sambuusi]

why do most somali girls avoid tampons and menstrual cups?
i'd imagine it hurts

 

[strawberrii]

People seem to think that tampons = losing your virginity or something like that. Or otherwise, they’re put off by the fear of toxic shock syndrome.

TSS scares me off ngl

 

[Land Of The Brave]

Youre not suppose to use tampon according to some culima but ive never heard of most Somali girls not using period pads.

 

[Gedogyal]

Anything that has to do with a woman’s genitalia (no matter in what context) is just a sin in ppl’s eyes You’d be seen as a hoe if you wore a tampon... weird

DW, it's an unfounded fear of deflowering, potential pain, discomfort and possible toxic shock syndrome.

Thank you huuno.

I don't understand the actual benefit. I stopped swimming by age 14/15. And I hear tampons are treated with chlorine (which have dioxin and furans as byproducts and are linked to hormonal imbalances and allergies) , contain pesticides and plastics. So it doesn't seem all that worth it.

I’ve heard of that too, I think especially in the Hanafi or Malaki school of thoughts (I think, don’t quote me on it.). I think the rationale is that it has the potential to harm and inserting something inside is akin to masturbation.

Also @sophisticate you’re back!!

i actually used to think menstrual cups were very convenient, but those are some cons i'd like to avoid

Anything that has to do with a woman’s genitalia (no matter in what context) is just a sin in ppl’s eyes You’d be seen as a *** if you wore a tampon... weird

it's sad cause there's no pleasure to be derived from it at all, but ig because people think broken hymen = virginity gone, they strongly disapprove

Why not? Don't be surprised about how insightful you can be.

Also @sophisticate you’re back!!

Thank you mon ami. You ladies are so courteous.

Thank you mon ami. You ladies are so courteous.

you've missed out on the misogynistic turn of SSPOT and the chaos that ensued in your absence

This is why women scholars are needed. There’s nothing pleasure about that. Yikes!

Also the logic is flawed

There is absolutely no cons to using menstrual cups. First of all, they don't even reach high enough in the vagina to break a hymen. They are super easy to insert once your get a hang of it. The amount of time you can use it without cleaning out the blood depends on your flow but for most normal flow people, they can use it for up to 12 hours. Cleaning is super easy too once you get a hang of it, just dump in toilet and wash with soap or feminine wash. If inserted properly, there's no chances of leaking. And best of all, unlike pads, which are awkward to use and feels like a diaper, you barely feel the cup inside you and you completely forget that you're on your period.

 

[Gambar]

There’s a crude answer but in short, pads are the most convenient.

 

[Reign]

They’re not safe, they don’t allow blood clot to come out which needs to come out otherwise it will build up in your uterus not to mention no one wants to stick something in their vagina.
