Once you know this story, you’ll never think about grocery stores the same way. Turns out, the modern grocery store was incredibly revolutionary and actually changed habits you have, right now, forever.
info_outlineThe history of tampons and taboos around menstruation products is shocking and incredibly thought-provoking. Why?! First off, tampons go back WAY FARTHER than decades. In fact, there’s an insane history for what cultures have put up their lady parts for many centuries. This episode takes you from ancient menstruation times through the ads for unmarried women in the 1950s *You can’t help but laugh at the...well, you’ll see* to controversies still very prevalent around the world about tampon use.
Grab your favorite party (lined?) panties and join me for learning:
- What materials for makeshift tampons were used historically *So rough, literally*
- The first time the word “period” was ever uttered on TV (Who said it? A famous actress you’ll know)
- Why Word War I had a big part in menstrual cycles
- What 1950s ads did to market to “unexperienced women” - who hadn’t had “things” up their woman parts yet
- How a male doctor came up with the modern tampon
- The meaning the word behind “Tampax”
- How long it took from the modern tampon being patented → To it actual being openly known and used *insane*
- What 50 Shades of Grey reveals about tampons today
- Why the 2016 Olympics had a big effect on the taboo around tampons still in many parts of the world
- My honesty on realizing I have a biased perspective from how I was raised & where I’m from + *you’ll hear more on this in episode* -- As I share about the perspective of tampons today, I know I don’t know everything on this subject. I am asking for your stories and experiences with menstruation products to truly understand stories from every angle, culture, location because I KNOW I’m not an expert and want all sides of the history we’re building now, we are in this together -

My own interest was sparked by experiences shared within the episode. This is fascinating and a topic I feel is very important to address, especially for women’s rights and freedoms, so this is only part 1 of Menstruation Marketing. The next part will be released soon, going into the more sustainable yet also effective menstruation products that have come in the last few years and THEIR marketing challenges.
