It was actually rags. They placed them down there. Thats where we get the saying being on the rag. :o)

The same thing that many women use today...
organic rags. Check 'em out in my source link
below. ALSO...waaaay before that, many
cultures (and some still do) sent women to be
alone and sit on a stool for the whole time.
Smelly room(!), smelly room(!), but good conversations,
I bet. Read The Red Tent by Anita Diamant.
Great book no matter your background or taste in books.
Peace.

Women often used (and reused) sponge "tampons" shoved in by a special device. Not pleasant

Same thing they still use in many countries: soft cloths, which are washed out after each use.
