I have a problem with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White?

[Clara Theron]

Both of them slept in a comatic condition for a prolonged period of time.
Now, having worked in an ICU section before, I know that those "womanly functions" do not stop while a woman is comatic...
So:
Who the hell changed their sanatary pads while they were asleep?
And what about mouth hygene?
Both were kissed by handsome dudes when they woke up....
Ewwww...

In some versions of Sleeping Beauty, she is taken care of by good fairies. Since they there to deliver her babies when they are born, I would imagine they help with other feminine related needs. Sun, Moon, and Tallia is the version I refer to from the Penterome.

In other tales like Snow White all functions seem to be suspended-- even breathing. She is not placed inside of the glass coffin because she is alive but because she is beautiful and they want to look at her and notice she doesn't decay.
