There's been a lot of conversation revolving around tampons lately. Their material components have been brought under scrutiny, and the negative environmental impact of the disposal of plastic applicators have been the subject of many-a-discussion. Everyone is talking about tampons.
近来人们一直在谈论关于卫生棉的一些话题。人们对卫生棉所用材料的成分实施了严格的检查,而其可降解塑料质棉棒对环境的负面影响已经成为了人们讨论的主题。现在每个人都在谈论卫生棉。
The truth is however, tampons have been around for a long, long time. Civilizations dating back to the ancient Greeks have recorded evidence that women used homemade tampon-like devices. Which is interesting ... because I think we all have a story from our mothers about how they had to buckle in their giant maxi-pads which caused them to wobble on their bikes and show off embarrassing bulges in their underpants.So before you say goodbye to tampons, enjoy some interesting facts you probably didn't know about their history.
然而,真实情况是,卫生棉已经存在很长、很长一段时间了。追溯到古希腊文明,记录显示那时的妇女使用自制类似卫生棉的东西。真是太有意思了,因为我想我们的妈妈们都跟我们说过她们是怎样无奈地垫上超大块的卫生棉,弄得在自行车上坐不稳,小内内还鼓起来,尴尬极了。所以,在你跟卫生棉说再见之前,好好看看你可能不知道的关于它历史有趣事实吧。
"La, la, la, la, la, la, la, sheets of Egyptian cotton"
“啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦,埃及棉质床单”
Ancient Egyptian women used softened papyrus to absorb their menstruation. Though it might sound like quite a process for us busy women, it was just something they were used to making.
古埃及妇女用软化过的纸莎草纸招待大姨妈。尽管听起来像是我们繁忙女性的一大进步,但这只是她们习惯做的东西而已。
Ouch, just ouch
疼,真心疼
Women in ancient Greece used slim planks of wood wrapped in lint as tampons. I can't imagine a worse place to get a splinter.

Bahhhh
噗

Women in Asia and parts of Africa used rolled plants and grasses. They weren't particularly absorbent but they did block the flow.
亚洲女性和一部分非洲女性将植物和草卷起来。这些东西吸收性并不会特别得好,但确实可以“截流”。
It wasn't always this easy to use
其实并不是一直都那么好用
Tampons as we know them which come with a removable, disposable applicator did not come around until the 20th century.

Up until the 1970s, tampons were not publicly broadcasted. When the National Association of Broadcasters Code Authority approved Tampax for televised advertisements, they were everywhere.
20世纪70年代,姨妈巾还没有在电视上播出过。当全国广播代码授权协会许可丹碧斯月经棉塞上电视打广告时,姨妈巾就到处都可以看到了。
