This book interrogates how the so-called "Feminine Care" industry travelled from the United States to Latin America via manufactured and disposable menstrual technologies and certain narratives about menstrual bodies. The author focuses on Argentina as a case study to deepen the analysis of transnational and business around menstruation, drawing on women's voices to unveil why menstruation is still a bodily process that is natural yet taboo in Latin America.
