Okay so let's start off by on a scale of one to ten, how much do you know about periods?

好，那我們先從打分數開始，1到10分，你覺得你有多了解生理期？

情態副詞

從生理學的角度來說，相當了解

這個嘛，我知道它每個月都會來

Can you identify the items in front of you?

Okay I think this is a sanitary towel. Is it?

好，我想這應該是衛生棉，是嗎？

-No, I can't... -You don't know what that is.

-呃...我認不出來 -你不知道這是什麼

And looks like something the doctor checks your ears with.

看起來好像醫生用來檢查耳朵的東西

I used to play with these actually when I was younger. My mum I used to ask her, "What

其實我小時候曾經玩過這些東西。我還問過我老媽：「這些

are these for?" and I'd playing them around and she'd be like, "Stop! That costs money!"

東西要用拿幹嘛？」我拿著它們亂玩，然後我媽就大喊「夠了！那要錢的！」

And is this a Shewee? You know, that they use at festivals.

這個是女用尿斗嗎？你懂得，就是她們在節慶時用的那個

I know what they look like. I couldn't tell you how it works.

我知道它們長怎樣，但我沒辦法解釋要怎麼用

I couldn't give you the name, but I'm assuming that obviously it's a cup that gathers.

我不知道這麼的名字，但我很確信這是用來收集經血的

-A menstrual cup. -Heard of one of those?

-原來是月經杯 -以前有聽過嗎？

Well I can imagine, but just up and hold.

這個嘛，我可以想像，就拿起來然後握住

-So this goes inside the vagina. -Lovely.

-所以這個是要放進陰道裡的 -真棒

Close it like that, and then you insert it into the vagina.

像這樣合起來，然後再塞進陰道裡面

Well because it's quite difficult to get it in like this.

這是因為像這樣的話很難放進去

That opens, and it creates a valve and it collects the blood. And when it's full you

打開之後會形成一個收集經血的活門。當充滿經血之後

just pull it out, wash it, empty it and stick it back in.

只要把它拉出來、洗一洗、倒乾之後再把它插回去

Well, that's quite handy, isn't it? Because it's reusable and you're saving money on the

這個嘛，它還挺方便的，不是嗎?因為它可以重複再利用，還可以省下

Is this the first time you've touched a tampon?

No, but I've not seen anything like this.

不是，但我以前從沒見過這樣的東西

Okay so how do you think we use them? How do we insert them?

好那你覺得這個要怎麼用?要怎麼塞進去?

按一下。這比看起來的還難得多

Get into a comfortable position. Most women either sit on the toilet, squat slightly with

為了要調整成舒服的姿勢，大部分的女人會坐在馬桶上，稍微蹲下並

knees bent or stand with one foot on the toilet seat.

彎曲膝蓋或是乾脆一隻腳跨在馬桶上

Sorry. That's just quite funny. Who needs the yoga class? Don't worry. I'm just on my period.

抱歉，這真的有點好笑。誰還需要去上瑜珈啊?別擔心，我月經剛好來了

So you insert it like that. Oh effing hell. Geez. Sorry.

所以你像這樣放進去。噢真該死，我的天啊，抱歉

Well I assume that's inserted into the vagina.

-Using? -Fingers or maybe some... I don't know. No idea.

-用什麼塞? -手指或別的....我也不知道，毫無頭緒

You pull that back, and then this dangles out.

再把這個拉出來，然後這條就掛在外面

-You just give it a little tug. -Pull. Simple.

-你只要稍微拉一下 -拉一下，非常簡單

I think it's going to fill the width of the glass.

I'm disappointed. I thought it was going to get wider.

我有點失望。我以為它會膨脹的更大

So once you've got this inside, how often do you think you have to change it?

所以當你使用棉條的時候，你覺得多久要換一次?

Three or four times a day, something like that.

You just put it in and it's fine, and then you pull it out later.

你只要把它放進去就好了吧，然後晚點再把它拿出來

-一天結束的時候? -一天結束的時候，好喔

Actually you need to change them every four to six hours.

事實上你每四到六小時就要換一次

Well I would be disgusting, wouldn't I, if I were a girl isn't it?

我會很討人厭吧，是吧?如果我是女生的話

I'm quite glad I'm a man, to be honest. Sorry, not to be insensitive but...

老實說我有點慶幸我是個男的。抱歉，無意冒犯但...

What do you think is going through your mind now as a woman?

那你現在覺得當一個女生是麼感覺呢?

I'd be worried of getting blood everywhere.

You're going to have to have these on you, obviously, in your bag. And then what are

很顯然地你需要把這些帶在身上，在袋子裡面。然後呢

you going to have to do during the day? You're going to need access to...

你覺得你一天還需要做什麼?你必須要找到

Toilets to change it. Unless you're going to do it in public.

廁所來換這些東西。除非你要在眾目睽睽之下換

Why do you think people don't talk about it?

你覺得人們為什麼不好意思談論月經
