So particularly than wait any more she went in the back of a bush contained in the backyard. nicely she determined that because it became the top of her era she did not desire a tampon in any more so, without wondering, she pulled it out... and then realised she had nowhere to positioned it.

Well my mom was born in 1943, she started her period when she was 12...so in 1955 she said there were pads and tampons available....she says she doesn't know what women used before that but she guessed that maybe they tore up old sheets or pillowcases and used those because they would be washable maybe....or maybe they used the same material they use for cloth diapers..or made some out of cotton.....

I think they used like cloth-pads, you know? rags and stuff. I think in the middle east though, women have(/had I don't know if they still do this) a room of the house that was just for that time of the month- and periods were looked on as un-holy. Go figure, eh?

A rag
A piece of cloth...that's where the expression...."on the rag" comes from.
