With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Zhou Yue looked at the hay on the bed and felt a little sad. Life was really not easy for women in this era.

In modern times, menstruation is a simple and easy thing.

Not only sanitary napkins, but also menstrual cups, tampons and many other options.

In this era, these things are all gone.

When you have your period, you have to find other ways to deal with it, such as making a menstrual belt with cloth strips, or padding it with straw paper.

In such rural mountainous areas, people are naturally reluctant to waste paper.

These rural girls sewed simple menstrual belts out of some rags.

Modern sanitary napkins sometimes leak from the sides, not to mention this simple menstrual belt.

The cloth strips can get soaked easily and can leak if you're not careful.

Having pants soaked with blood is not only embarrassing, but also requires frequent changes and washing, which is really troublesome.

After Zhou Yue settled Xiuxiu down, she returned to her room.

I sat at the table with my chin supported by my hand, and the more I thought about it, the sadder I became.

She thought again of the female soldiers during the Long March and how difficult it was for them to have their periods.

The conditions were so harsh that I could only stuff some rags and leaves in my pants.

Sometimes when running long distances, there is really no way out and the menstrual blood wets the pants and drips down the trouser legs.

When she saw it, she was so heartbroken!

Women are at their most vulnerable during their menstrual period, yet they still have to suffer so much pain.

Life now is slightly better than during the Long March.

She decided to do something for the women in this town!

Zhou Yue opened the system mall and looked at it for a long time. The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.

First of all, there are sanitary napkins, which are obviously not from this era.

After all, sanitary napkins only began to enter China in 1982.

Then she saw the tampon and Zhou Yue just passed it.

During this difficult period, cotton was in short supply.

Zhou Yue and his colleagues thought of many ways and finally made a cotton-padded coat for everyone in the welfare home and the nursing home.

If the clothes get dirty, there are no thick clothes to change into.

Everyone would be reluctant to see such precious cotton being used as a disposable item.

After much deliberation, Zhou Yue finally decided to make homemade menstrual belts for everyone.

These homemade menstrual belts made by rural women have a huge flaw.

That is because it leaks too easily. Even if you use several layers of cloth, it is easy for the blood to soak through and stain your pants.

Zhou Yue borrowed a sewing machine from a fellow villager and ordered some fabric from the mall.

These are not ordinary fabrics. Although they do not seem to have any special colors or patterns on the surface, they are actually very special.

The first one is pure cotton fabric with super water absorption. It is made of long-staple cotton from Xinjiang and has strong water absorption.

The second type is high-tech fabric that feels somewhat slippery and will not be soaked by liquids.

It is a bit like a lotus leaf, which remains clean even after being splashed with dirty water.

Zhou Yue combined these two fabrics together. The inner layer is long-staple cotton fabric that can absorb moisture, and the outer layer is high-tech fabric that will not leak.

For several days, Zhou Yue locked herself in the room, sewing machine clacking non-stop from morning to night.

Zhou Yue’s sewing skills are average, and this menstrual belt looks quite rough.

But she dared to guarantee that this would definitely be the most comfortable menstrual belt used by the women in town.

After making all the menstrual belts, Zhou Yue distributed them to women in the town who needed them.

Each person has ten pieces. Although not many, they can be washed and reused and can be used for a long time!
