Abstract In this essay, I use the domestication framework to explore the integration process in which reusable menstrual management technologies become part of the everyday life of users. Drawing on interviews, focus group discussions and observation in online and offline sites in Argentina, this study sheds light on how technologies and users co-construct each other in the context of an emerging menstrual activism. By listening to the stories of the participants of this study, I show the potential of women’s agency in transforming technology. New and not foreseen uses and meanings were assigned to the reusable menstrual technologies, however, this happens while the identities of users are also transformed in the process of domestication, illustrating how the identity of being a menstruating woman and technologies are co-shaping each other.

赋权、去污名化和可持续性:阿根廷月经行动主义背景下可重复使用的月经技术的共建

摘要 在本文中,我使用驯化框架来探索可重复使用的月经管理技术成为用户日常生活一部分的集成过程。本研究利用阿根廷在线和离线网站的采访、焦点小组讨论和观察,揭示了技术和用户如何在新兴的月经行动主义背景下相互构建。通过聆听本研究参与者的故事,我展示了女性能动性在改变技术方面的潜力。可重复使用的经期技术被赋予了新的、未预见的用途和意义,然而,这种情况发生的同时,用户的身份也在驯化过程中发生了变化,说明了作为经期女性的身份和技术是如何相互塑造的.
