Menstruation management in developing countries -OMG Ladies read this

A menstruation museum highlights some of the efforts women have established in managing flow properly. Ladies, we have it good in developed countries. Could you imagine being sent to the cow shed because you were on and people telling you go away because you smelled bad because you were on and it was not managed properly? (What do you mean they just bleed into their clothing?)
This is what women and girls suffer through in underdeveloped countries. They don't want them washing the cloths, drying them any where near to a populous. And--they have to use old strips of cloth! See, I told you in Biblical days women were sent to live by the river when they were on so they could be near a water source. However, girls are missing school because of poor management of flow.
There are some programs set up where locals can make the pads and sell them at a bit of profit so that girls can have a life. 
This is some good stuff to read if you are in bed suffering now. Look at the ads for menstruation cups below. I will add the "humor" link to the right. ("If I have to clean up this much blood again, some one better be decapitated!")
BTW, your favorite music will make you feel better...

Instead, individuals allow menstrual blood to flow naturally and stain clothing or other surfaces.  It’s often associated with rejecting societal taboos around menstruation, promoting body positivity, or advocating for environmental sustainability by avoiding disposable products.
