What did women do beforehand the invention of pad and tampons?
Answers: It has other been rags...cut up cloth or towel, hence the innovative term the 'rags'.
My best friend's grandma used to have this handkerchief that you tied around your waist. You had to wash it every dark though or change it for a new one, resembling a diaper.
I think before that the women have to go somewhere private and not wear clothes and after the 4 to 7 days of uncleanliness had to be wash by a handmaid or wash themselves if they were poor..
iam 48, contained by my grandmothers time they used a band around the waste strip with clips that held any type of cotton cloth that was handy and cut to fit the nouns, this was used back even to the pre civil time of war days. before that, the ladies as known tied, cloth diapers to themselves(the lower class)to preserve working, the upper class ladies were able to excuse themselves to the privacy's of their rooms to tend to themselves within comfort with the handmaidens to clean the cloths for them. but remember pre civil time of war a woman passed on at a ripe old age of 35-45 if she was healty within the desert, and in rural communities, there would be a special private nouns where the woman would sit over a hole for the entire period and of late let it go within, unless they had to work (then they would use cloth etc)
but they only used to bring their period every 3-4 months cause of nouns of nutrition anyways. .
well, "back within the day", women were made to go past its sell-by date by themselves during the week of their periods, couldn't be touched and so on, because they were considered filthy. of course, that was resembling... biblical times.
but there are parts of africa and i'm sure other places where girls enjoy to stay home from school when they're on it because they have no course of dealing with it..
They probably used some sort of material or cotton. If you enjoy read or heard about the instrument those idiots use to think back after.
They probably thought they were possessed lol .
I would think the that the cave-women used a form of duster too, maybe animal furs. Probably nothing. :D
Ehm, I don't know, really. No one does..
this might be resourcefully is kind of nasty but the used to merely let them flow out and down there legs. it be quite discuss ting. cut up animal fur leaves .
