国产卫生巾品牌集体塌房事件，仍在发酵：外媒犀利报道（讲解版）｜E1205

▍原文
Major sanitary pad makers in China are apologising after being accused of selling pads that are shorter than advertised.

It comes amid a storm of anger after viral videos showed Chinese women measuring the lengths of sanitary pads from popular brands.

The uproar has extended into broader grievances about women being short-changed by feminine hygiene products. A phrase caught on amid the blowback encapsulates the outrage: "Sanitary pads yield a centimetre; women yield for a lifetime."
