I've heard they used cloth, probably more like a strip of deer hide and things like moss. I've been told that Native women, of at least some tribes, would go have some private time during this in a specially built lodge and just do whatever and have her friends or sisters or other women bring them whatever they needed. I think it was a really private thing. Not like how we just easily talk about it on here now.

The earliest commercial tampons were introduced in the United States around the late 1920's or early 1930's, some forty years after commercial pads had been introduced. When I told this to a friend of mine, she seemed surprised that they had been around so long.

They used whatever cloth they had to catch the flow. Then they washed it and used it the next month. This was popular into the 1900's.

Coastal populations often used sea sponges... that is the honest truth.
