Quinn I have a guess that I've formulated in my brain after having a child. So in the past 3 years I've had 2 periods. How did I achieve this naturally? Well, I was pregnant, then I breastfed for 2 years (breastfeeding suppresses ovulation), then I got my period back and then I got pregnant again. I'm guessing that's about how it went back then :) They got married/pregnant younger. Also, cloth menstrual pads. You can buy those now too!

Soumi They probably had a lot of kids, and most of the time there's no bleeding in pregnancy, and most of them probably breastfed for a couple of years so might not have had a period for a year and a half or more postpartum. Then you get pregnant again :) This method has been working for me. 2 periods in 3 years! Breastfeeding made it so I didn't get my period until 20 months postpartum! My goal is to have as few periods as possible and as many little blessings running around :)

I actually feel lost in modern times and feel that so many things are strange and unfamiliar. I am very old fashioned and have kept a lot of old Korean lifesyle and culture and would rather live in ancient Korea. Of course things were not perfect, but it's my feeling. Things are not perfect today, either. Also, it's easy to live without toilet paper. Just use water (and wash your hands well after). They still do this in India. That's why they don't eat or do holy ritual with left hand.

There's actually no such thing as "good bacteria." Everything is relatively neutral. As long as a certain bacterial or viral vector has been integrated into the organism, anything can be considered pathogenic. It's quite fascinating. :D
@foreverinbloom14

KamoLovesMusic well..personally I did a lot of medical reports for school, just general stuff like epidemiology and transmission. a common way to transmit diseases from one person to another is through fecal matter. if you reuse the stick, its transferring possibly dangerous bacteria from one person to another. of course that bacteria has to somehow travel to your mouth or open orifices, your bloodstream,whatever to affect you, but a tear in your anus, or if you touched tge wrong part of the stick... you can transfer germs very easily. like cholera. it killed millions of people and still kill people today. one way cholera is transmitted is through the feces to mouth. you might not think you would do that, but bacteria is small, survives for a long time, and is just easily transmissible. this is long, but this is why i think it is a bad idea to just..share butt cleaners.

Dude, no matter where you travels back 2000 years ago, I think you always need to bring toilet paper, and that includes Europe, where most North Americans originally from...and for the shower thing, just because you are blessed and you are Asian born and raised in north america doesn't mean every other places around world is like north america. Children in Africa can't afford to have shower even once a month. Water is so valuable for them. Even until today some children in China in poor village have to travel very far to even get drinking water. Therefore when you comment on facts, be more considerate, and please don't squeeze your eyes too much and make that WTF face. Having shower once every five days may seem weird in North America, but the world doesn't only contain one country. Plus notice the time was like couple of thousands years ago. Not sure what you guys are doing here by making judgements on Chinese culture when you are using the USA version cultural glasses to see through things. The moment you judge someone's culture using another culture's values and believes, I don't consider you are chinese anymore. Please stop making judgmental things when you don't know that much.
