You need to get a copy of "Red Tent". It tells you everything. Back in the medieval days women, during menstruation, would stay in their own separate tent. They would sit on a bail of hay until the finish menstruating. Girls who menstruated for the first time would take a special drink to make them drowsy and they would lay the girl in the farmers field. This would make their crop prosperous. Hey, Tampax sounds good to me.

Historically (and this will make you very happy to be a modern woman!) these unfortunate women made washable items to be worn during their period. Now aren't you happy?!!!
