    To be fair, you’ve probably stopped having your period because you’re malnourished.

      I said this once on Reddit and that the fathers jacket could be from when he was younger and one of the best ways to keep sane in times of crisis is enjoying the little things in life that you loved before if you still can. I.e make-up etc.

      Man was i flamed about how i have no idea.

        You’re safe here, there aren’t any women on Lemmy

          Hey now, Lemmy is big amongst trans women.

          Although that being said they likely have a different experience with feminine products like tampons and pads.

    Hello there. I’m a mid twenties man living in current day, working part time in a home improvement store, and I live alone in a ten bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan with my meticulously groomed pure bred dog, have twelve pack abs, perfectly coiffed hair, and am rewarded with the equally beautiful woman for criminally stalking her throughout the movie and ultimately forcing myself upon her.

    Movies are ridiculous. Ridiculous sells tickets or streams or whatever makes movies money these days.

      Hi I am a reluctant hero who sometimes gets shot but only in fleshy muscles where the bullet always misses major blood vessels, tendons and bones. I also can still hear fine even after firing dozens of rounds indoors without any ear protection.

      We should hang out some time.

      Yeah, by stuffing moss and bundles of cotton in their knickers. If it’s a choice of that or stocking up on pads when I’m raiding Tesco, I know which one I’d rather

        Cloth works well enough that in extreme survival situation you might forego pads in favour of food or drink.

          I can’t speak for all women but I think I’d try to have enough of both food and pads/tampons if I could. Pads are much more efficient at absorbing than a bundle of cloth and are cleaner, so wouldn’t cause thrush and other infections

          Pads and tampons are also good first aid supplies - I think tampons were first invented to plug bullet holes

            I think tampons are older invention than bullets. I know tampons have been used for battlefield wounds, but I don’t think that’s their original intended use.

            The last one is a myth, they are awful for trauma use cases and do nothing to actually staunch bleeding

                Of course :)

                Only came up recently with the war in Ukraine. Some female Russian officer/leader was instructing new troops/mobiks to ask relatives for tampons for bleeding because the RU military literally doesn’t have enough tourniquets everyone.

            Tampons are useless for wounds as they typically hold less than 30mL/1oz of fluid. If you have a large wound that is bleeding despite applying pressure, use a tourniquet (which you can make out of any sufficiently strong fabric and a stick)

          Pads are relatively light, to the point that if you’re not in a time crunch, they’d probably be worth grabbing

      Yes but they knew how. Most modern people wouldn’t know how to do most things without our modern way of doing it

    To be fair the jacket could have also been from one of her brothers. She had 15 brothers so she knows how to handle herself.

      Hi, I’m a woman in a post-apocalyptic society and of course my legs and armpits are always shaved. Unlike the men who have to grow out their beards, I am always able to find razors.
