can you imagine if sanitary napkins or tampons weren't invented at all? i think women, would go so dirty with the monthly period, and that's so disgusting. but have u also wondered what the women in the earlier years used when sanitary napkins weren't still invented?

Actually, they used towels or rags. Where do you think the term "on the rag" came from? during WWI the nurses discovered that the pressure bandages worked great for when they were on their cycle. That's where sanitary napkins came from.

Hello GourdBreaker!(",) You really think hard about starting this topic.(".) I must say Thank you God for giving humankind the knowledge on how to make sanitary napkins. It is indeed a blessing to all the women. It's true that in the early days, women used cloth to absorb the blood.(",)
