Girl Makes 60,000 RMB Profit Selling Sanitary Pads to Girls… and Guys
Mar 10, 2014 By eChinacities.com

A girl from Guangdong has found a innovative business model, and benefited handsomely from the endeavor. The girl, named Diao Xin, began with a modest 700 RMB start-up capital and has earned 60,000 RMB in profit. What does she do? She sells sanitary pads to girls, and guys.

Her company, called Lolita, started by selling to girls who were too embarrassed to by them in the supermarket where they might bump into boys they knew. She then began selling door-to-door in the neighborhoods surrounding her school.

Eventually she approached the men who attend a nearby military academy and began selling to them. The military students use the pads as in-soles in there shoes to make the severe amount of running, and time spent on their feet, more bearable. Diao Xin has, very cleverly, taken the embarrassment out of the guys having to go and buy them themselves.

Why would buying pads be an embarrassment? Are the girls in question afraid that a male acquaintance might find out they have vaginas? How shocking! Not sure how that logic works... but... it's China.

Girl's farts smell like roses and when they on the toilets for the heavy duty, it's flowers and soap bubbles. If you kiss them, you can catch the babies.

If the culture can't adapt and become more sensible, take advantage of the ignorance. Seriously how on earth do you, as a guy, look down on a girl buying pads? Sometimes I think this society is doomed to forever live as barbarians.
