Es ist schon eine legendäre Anekdote: Die Nasa fragte 1983 die Astronautin Sally Ride, ob 100 Tampons für eine einwöchige Mission ausreichen würden.

Aus Neue Zürcher Nachrichten, 2. Oktober 1941
Aus aktuellem Anlass. Und nein, ich will heute nicht frohmütig, leistungsfähig und deodoriert sein! Darf ich bitte einfach am Boden liegen bleiben, nach Blut, Schweiss und Selbstmitleid riechen und auf das Ende meiner Qualen warten? Vielen Dank auch.

Science to the rescue!
Menstruators know that it's always good to find out as soon as possible if things go wrong. A new period pad may be one stop in the right direction.
Beware of data privacy and use your eyes though:
"The researchers say these results can be read by eye, but they have also developed an app that uses a machine learning-driven image analysis"
Stay safe

"Dr Stefanie Felsberger, lead author of the report, said: 'Menstrual cycle tracking apps are presented as empowering women and addressing the gender health gap.
'Yet the business model behind their services rests on commercial use, selling user data and insights to third parties for profit.'"

Just watched this video. The TLDR is that there are 23 times more studies about semen than there are of menstrual blood, because health researchers did not use women in clinical trials due to 3 dangerous reproductive health scandals.
New studies show menstrual blood can be used to diagnose endometriosis non-invasively. And male reversible birth control is in clinical trials.
It also has a thing 7 minutes in on cervical pain. #periods

Les protections périodiques - pour celles qui ont les moyens d'en acheter (elles étaient taxées comme des produits de luxe jusqu'à très récemment) - étaient indéniablement un progrès.
Se les procurer était toutefois moins facile que de s'approvisionner en cigarettes ou en bière.
Dans le monde du travail, on a davantage développé l'installation de machines à café que de commodités pour les femmes dont, par exemple, pour se changer, des lieux un peu mieux adaptés que les toilettes.

Finde ich gut!
