Prohibited Advertisement
Birth control products were banned from being advertised in the United States based on the Comstock Act of 1873. There were also strict bans placed on distributing the items throughout the country, with even regulations placed on postal agencies to confiscate any shipping of the products. Yeah, it sure does sound like an insane notion. But as time passed, women got lucky by an initiative made by companies who manufactured the products.
No information could be given on the packages about the product, nor could it be mentioned. As such, they renamed the products under the heading of “marital hygiene” and “feminine hygiene,” and fortunately, the plan worked out well. Look how funny it is as now they wouldn’t mind most women coming on board to accept and use these products.
Charm Birth Controls
Some weird birth control methods have been used by women in history, but at least this one is not so weird as no “insertions” were made in the body. In European history, many believed that pregnancy could be avoided if women wore charms that were made of weasel testicles around her neck or thigh.
Yeah, that’s the weird part and isn’t so attractive at all. Other pieces of jewelry were worn to ward off any potential men trying to seek a romantic relationship. These pieces of jewelry included charms made of mule’s uterus, donkey’s poop, or cat bones. We are sure this barrier did the trick it was meant for.
