still, i was surprised that the survey asks only about whether or not the mother figure worked in the medical field, and doesn’t ask about a father at all and whether or not he worked in the medical field—study seems to assume a father’s role is always irrelevant. even in situations where the father never discusses menstruation with his daughter, i could still see how his line of work could have a strong impact; conversely, i could also see how a mother working in the medical field would not necessarily be relevant to the daughter ‘s comfort or lack thereof using sanitary products (which is certainly true in my case-my mother worked in medical field, and still does, but we never discussed that topic), but the line of questioning might insinuate a connection where there is none.

i was also intrigued by one of the possible answers to question #25, in reference to how the survey filler-outer first learned how to use a tampon:

25. How did they teach you?( Check all that apply)
Talked me through it
Diagram/picture/drawing
Showed me
Put it in for me
Other (Please Specify)

“Put it in for me”? wow. that is some hands-on instruction. although of course i realize there could be certain circumstances that would call for that kind of guidance.

If anyone has any questions about birth control, acne, hepatitis B, atopic dermatitis, would be happy to help answer those.. perhaps be a guest blogger…

Thanks ladies for your help with this important research!
