It’s not every day that you hear someone talking about their menstrual cycle live on TV. And it’s even more rare if that person is an Olympic athlete from China. But that’s what happened this week when swimmer Fu Yuanhui, admitted she wasn’t at her best because of period pains. It’s opened up a whole new conversation about tampons in China - a country where some have never even heard of them.
