Le ntengiso yeTampax iye yavalwa ngesona sizathu siphazamisayo

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Abantu abaninzi banobuchule ekusebenziseni itampon ngokudibanisa ukuthetha nosapho okanye abahlobo, uvavanyo kunye nempazamo, kunye nokufunda Ukukhathalelwa kunye nokugcinwa kwakho. Ngokumalunga nentengiso, iTampax ifake ulwazi oluncedo kwiintengiso zayo, kodwa (isothuso!) Enye kutshanje iye yahlolwa.

Kurhwebo, oluye lwasasazwa e-UK nase-Ireland, umamkeli wemiboniso yentetho uyabuza, "Bangaphi kuni abakhe bave i-tampon yakho?" Undwendwe lwakhe luphakamisa isandla. "Akufanelekanga!" umamkeli utsho. "Kusenokuthetha ukuba i-tampon yakho ayikude ngokwaneleyo. Kufuneka uyinyuse phaya!"

Emva koko, ukucacisa ingongoma, ezinye izandla ezidadayo zibonisa indlela echanekileyo nengalunganga yokusebenzisa iitamponi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izandla zilinganisa ngokuyinxenye ukufaka i-tampon ("kungekhona nje i-tip") kwaye kwelinye icala, zibonisa ukufaka i-tampon yonke indlela ("ukubambelela"). (Eyeleleneyo: I-Tampax isandula ukukhulula umgca weendebe zokuya exesheni-nantsi isizathu sokuba sisiNtetho esikhulu eso)

Isenokubonakala ingenabungozi ukuba awukhubekiswanga ziityhubhu zeplastiki kunye nesandla "vulvas," kodwa urhwebo lufumene umva kwaye luye lwakhutshwa emoyeni eIreland. IGunya leMigangatho yeNtengiso eIreland (ASAI) liphonononge urhwebo kwaye lathi likhokelele kwizikhalazo ezine ezahlukeneyo: ukuba iyacaphukisa, ithoba isidima kwabasetyhini (okt. , kunye/okanye engabafanelanga abantwana. Emva kokuphononongwa, i-ASAI ixhase kuphela isikhalazo sokuqala (ukuba urhwebo belusoloko lucaphukisa), luchaza ukuba intengiso ibangele "ulwaphulo-mthetho olubanzi" phakathi kwababukeli eIreland. Ngeso sizathu sodwa, i-ASAI yagweba ukuba urhwebo kufuneka lutsalwe. Uphawu lwathobela kwaye lwatsala intengiso kwi-Irish TV, ngokutsho Inyibiba.

Olu tshintsho lweziganeko alothusi ngokukodwa xa iintengiso ezinxulumene neenkxalabo zempilo yabasetyhini bezilawulwa kumabonakude. Thatha i-Thinx's "MENstruation" yentengiso, ebonise ihlabathi apho wonke umntu efumana ixesha kwaye akukho mabala ajikeleze iimveliso zokuya exesheni. Intengiso ayiboniswanga iyonke kwiTV, kuba imifanekiso yegazi ayivumelekanga. Ezinye iinethiwekhi zalile ukuqhuba intengiso konke konke ngaphandle kokuba uThinx wasusa udubulo lwendoda enentambo ebonakalayo yetampon ejinga kwimpahla yakhe yangaphantsi. Komnye umzekelo, urhwebo luka-Frida Mom olubonisa umama omtsha etshintsha iphedi yakhe kwaye esebenzisa ibhotile ye-peri yalelwa ekungenisweni ngexesha le-Oscars kuba yayithathwa njengomzobo kakhulu. (Idibeneyo: Kutheni le nto ungafanele unxibe iiTampon eziNgenisiyo ngokuNgena ixesha lokuKhanya)

Intengiso yeTampax, ngelixa yayisaziwa njengentliziyo elula, yayifundisa ngokucacileyo, eyenza ukwaliwa kwayo kuphoxeke ngakumbi. Kwimpendulo yeTampax kwizikhalazo kwi-ASAI, uphawu lokhathalelo lwexesha lathi urhwebo lwalusekwe "kuphando olubanzi kunye nabathengi kumazwe aliqela aseYurophu ukuze baqinisekise ukuba yeyiphi imiqobo yokusebenzisa [iitampon], ngakumbi kumaqela aphakathi kwe-18 kunye ne-24 njengoko beqala ukusebenzisa iitamponi rhoqo. " Uphawu luye lwaqhuba uphando olukwi-intanethi lwabantu abadala abangaphezu kwe-5,000 baseYurophu kwaye lwafumanisa ukuba i-30-40 yepesenti yabaphenduli abazange bafake i-tampons zabo ngokuchanekileyo, kwaye i-30-55 yepesenti ayizange yandise isicelo ngokupheleleyo. I-Tampax ikwaphawule ukuba abaphenduli abavela eSpain, ilizwe esele liqhuba ngokuthengisa ixesha lokufundisa, babengenakufane babonakalise ukuba basebenzisa iitampon ngokuchanekileyo okanye bafumana ukungonwabi.

Nabani na okhe wafaka itampon ecaleni uyazi ukuba isibhengezo "Kuya kufuneka ubenyuse apho!" Ingcebiso yezilumko. Imbi kakhulu into yokuba ikwabangela "ulwaphulo-mthetho olubanzi" eIreland.
