178: Regret it now! _7

In the lunar month of October, Ni Yang was only wearing a white knit sweater. A light breeze carried a touch of chill, and combined with her monthly cycle, Ni Yang looked a bit pale.

Before the 1980s, there were no menstrual pads in China.

In 1984, menstrual pads had only recently been introduced to China.

Before the 1980s, everyone used cloth menstrual belts.

A menstrual belt was a strip of cloth sewn together. Most households kept two, one to be worn and one for washing, during the menstrual cycle.

Although menstrual pads had been introduced to China, the vast majority still used menstrual belts.

That was because a pack of menstrual pads cost eight or nine yuan, but at that time, people's monthly salary was only about thirty-something yuan, which made them unaffordable.

And because sales were low, very few stores sold them. You had to go to specific stores.

Ni Yang did buy quite a few for home use.

But now she was in the city.

Ni Yang quickened her pace.

She must hurry!
