As Fangxiang spoke, she glanced backstage and saw Jing Zhe nodding at her, which calmed her down.

"Isn't everyone curious about why our actresses can still move around freely even when they're menstruating?"

As she spoke, Fangxiang rummaged inside her clothes for a while and then took out a perfectly intact sanitary napkin: "It's because of this—sanitary napkins—that we women no longer have to be afraid of our periods!"

Regarding this line, Jing Zhe once had a rather wicked discussion with everyone, suggesting that they should have someone pull out a used piece of clothing from their crotch on the spot, so that the effect could be seen more directly, right?

But it was immediately rejected.

Of course, if Jing Zhe insists, that's fine too, but the only problem is that no one will be willing to act in it.

Think of it as hiding a grenade in your crotch; people are generally quite accepting of this kind of thing.

"sanitary napkin?"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the fragrant object held in her hand, which was as light and thin as a white butterfly.

The men were just watching the spectacle. Even if they were curious, such matters had become increasingly private. They weren't as bold as the brave warrior from before. However, when they searched further, they discovered that the warrior had also disappeared.

The women were very concerned, and one of them thoughtfully asked, "Miss Fangxiang, is this sanitary napkin just like a cloth bag?"

Fangxiang smiled and nodded: "You're half right. Its function is the same as a cloth bag, but its effect is much better!"

Then, Fangxiang began to explain in detail, "As you can all see, this sanitary napkin is several times thinner than a cloth bag. Of course, despite its thinness, its absorbency is exceptional, something a cloth bag simply cannot match."

"Miss Fangxiang, these sanitary napkins look so thin, how could they possibly be more absorbent than a cloth bag?"

Ultimately, the reason for adding wood ash to the cloth bag is to absorb water. The more wood ash you put in, the more water it absorbs, which means the bag will be bigger and less convenient to carry.

The sanitary napkin looked like a thin layer, but Fangxiang claimed it was better at absorbing moisture than wood ash, which the people found hard to believe.

Fangxiang smiled but did not answer. Instead, she waved to the backstage, and an actress came up carrying a bowl of water in one hand and a perfectly intact cloth bag in the other.

"Words are useless, let's see the results."

As she spoke, she poured water onto the cloth bag. At first, it was fine, as the water was absorbed by the wood ash. But after pouring less than half a bowl, the cloth bag started to drip water.

Fangxiang poured the remaining half bowl of water onto the sanitary napkin, and a magical scene appeared: the sanitary napkin became noticeably heavier, but there was not a single trace of leakage.

Everyone present gaped in astonishment at what they saw.

The women, in particular, were surprised and stared at the sanitary napkins, their eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

"With this sanitary napkin, even in summer, ladies don't have to worry about wearing thin skirts anymore!"

After saying that, she added, "By the way, don't you ladies feel uncomfortable for a few days after using cloth bags? You don't have to worry about that at all after using this sanitary napkin! Because the sanitary napkin is filled with snow-white cotton, it's much cleaner than our underwear, and you don't even need to buy Chinese medicine!"

As soon as Fangxiang finished speaking, it drew gasps from the crowd.

The thinness and strong absorbency of sanitary napkins are already amazing enough, but now Fangxiang claims that these sanitary napkins can even relieve women from the discomfort of itching, which is truly surprising.

Unable to contain their excitement, a group of people below asked questions.

"Miss Fangxiang, where did these sanitary napkins come from?"

"Miss Fragrant, something this good must be expensive, right?"

"Who cares about the price? If these sanitary napkins are really as magical as the girl in the fragrance described, I'll buy them no matter the price!"

"Yes, if it's true, I'll buy it!"

"..."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm and excitement, Fangxiang knew that her mission was accomplished. She smiled and said, "Actually, these sanitary napkins were a gift from Miss Zhou of Zhou's Cloth Shop. I don't know the price you all asked about, but Miss Zhou happens to be at our Da'an Newspaper Office. So, let's ask Miss Zhou to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood.

The sanitary napkins are so thin yet have such good absorbency. In their minds, the best absorbent material is cotton. The Zhou family's cloth shop happens to have cotton used to make cotton-padded clothes, so this makes sense.

So, under everyone's gaze, Zhou Ziqiong walked out from backstage, nodded slightly, and smiled at Fang Xiang, who was about to leave the stage.

Upon seeing Zhou Ziqiong step onto the stage, everyone eagerly began asking her questions.

"Miss Zhou, are these sanitary napkins really made by our Zhou Family Fabric Workshop?"

"Miss Zhou, are these sanitary napkins really as magical as Miss Fangxiang described?"

"Miss Zhou..."

"..."

A barrage of questions arose from the crowd. Zhou Ziqiong smiled and gestured for everyone to be quiet, then nodded and said, "What Miss Fangxiang said earlier is absolutely true. Sanitary napkins are a new product that our Zhou family's fabric workshop has recently been researching. As for the effects of sanitary napkins, they are exactly the same as what Miss Fangxiang described!"

"Aww~"

Upon receiving Zhou Ziqiong's affirmation, everyone cheered.

"Ms. Zhou, how much are these sanitary napkins?"

This was the question everyone was most concerned about, so after the question was asked, the entire room fell silent, waiting for Zhou Ziqiong's answer.

At this point, Zhou Ziqiong said, "The initial price for these sanitary napkins at our Zhou Family Cloth Shop is thirty coins per piece. However, this is a newly launched product, and although we've had many actresses from the Da'an Newspaper try them, I'm still not entirely comfortable with it. So, when we open tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), our main store, as well as the three stores in the West and North sections, will give away six hundred sanitary napkins, two hundred to each store. After everyone has tried them, if they like them, they can come back to buy more!"

"..."

After Zhou Ziqiong finished speaking, there was another commotion in the crowd.

"Ms. Zhou, how are these 600 sanitary napkins being delivered? How many can each person take—can they all take 200?"

The speaker was a man, and after asking the question, he was immediately met with glares from the many women around him.

"Two hundred items per person? Are you kidding me?"

"Exactly, besides, what's the point of you, a grown man, being a leader?"

"..."

Zhou Ziqiong smiled and said, "I believe everyone's reaction has already explained the answer. It's definitely one item per person."

Afterwards, Zhou Ziqiong gave some instructions on how to collect free sanitary napkins the next day. Before leaving the stage, she smiled and said to the men present, "However, men can also collect them for their wives. If you love her, let her use sanitary napkins!"

"..."
