Q: Why are tampons so difficult to find in China?
They are more of a maxi pad type of nation. Plus, the health care system here probably wouldn't be able to cope with the vast increase of vaginal infections caused by not sterilizing hands before inserting a tampon.
It's a cultural thing. My chinese girlfriend tell me most girls are embarassed about looking "down there", so inserting a tampon would be too much for them to handle.
The demand is low, so the offer is low too.
It's just culture thing.
Like we use chopstick not fork and knife. Has nothing to do with other stuff～
Yeah, where to find tampons, what is an honest man to do when he gets a nosebleed.
belle_watson:
Well, when you have a nosebleed, just go to the fridge and take out two Swedish meatballs. They are as heavy as clay and about as tasty. Put one in each of your nostrils. Tilt your head back for at least 3 hours until you turn purple. Then have a glass of aquavit to revive yourself.
And you refer to an "honest man". Are we to believe that you are marketing yourself as an honest man?
Nowadays, you can easily find it in stores like Watsons or Manning, and they are located in many places.. wangjing, wudaokou, sanlitun, etc..
Hi! Now you can find some on Epermarket, but maybe it's only in Shanghai & Suzhou...
Go on Amazon or YiHaoDian, you can order some online.
