A woman researching the history of menstrual hygiene products was left shocked at the sanitary belt.
'My mother's generation had to wear these bloody awful things that look like some sort of mediaeval fanny torture.' said Anne Miles.
'It was like some sort of belt contraption. Oh you could get tampons then, but they had connotations that only loose women wore them because they went up you and might give you pleasure. As fucking if.'
'I have for many years taken the piss out of 90s Bodyform adverts. No longer. If I had to wear a sanitary belt I would never leave the house.'
'How you could walk without looking like John Wayne with some terry towelling on your box I have no idea.'
