‘PERIOD RITUAL’ STORIES
The woman, who is also a student added that the man asked for her used sanitary pads when they met and the man doesn’t know the pads she’s been giving him belong to other women.
“So far I made R60 000. I am sorry to all the women, who are affected by this, I’m trying to survive”.
Another woman in Giyani, Limpopo revealed on her TikTok that she once found a woman going through her dustbin to collect her used sanitary pads, which would’ve been used for a ritual if she hadn’t confronted her.
The Limpopo tiktoker adds that her grandmother eventually asked the woman for her granddaughter’s used pads back after she refused to give them.
When they went their separate ways, the mysterious woman told her ‘you’re not the only woman who goes on periods’.
It reported people who collect used sanitary pads can make close to R20 000 a day/per pad.
