Bonus: Actually, we’re really lucky. Just take a look at what women had to use in the past.

Papyrus, wood, and sea sponges. Although almost no information is available on how women dealt with their flows in ancient history, historians believe that women during the 3,000 B.C. — 5th century used different natural materials for menstruation. For example, Egyptian women used papyrus — a paper used for writing during that time. They soaked it so it would become soft and used as pads.

Greek women, according to Hippocrates, used wrapping bits of wood with lint as tampons. And some females are believed to use sea sponges to absorb the blood during periods.

Rags. In the 19^th century, women in European and North American societies were creating sanitary tools themselves from rags. This led to the term “on the rag”, which was slang for menstruation. Women used flannel or woven fabric to make menstrual clothes, which wasn’t a sterile solution.

Sanitary apron. A sanitary apron was a rubber apron with a strip that run between the legs to prevent blood from leaking on female skirts and seats. Basically, the apron was made to save furniture from stains, but it was a smelly and uncomfortable solution.
