They used cloth for napkins and washed them out for re-use. It wasn't that long ago that women were still doing that.
Does that answer your question?

Then a woman was considered unclean when her flowers or woman hood [ period as we call it] was upon her. And if she touched anything it was considered unclean. Also if anyone touched her or anything she touched while her flowers was on her ,they was unclean also. After her period she had to go for purification for so many days to be clean, same thing for the person that touched her or touched anything she had touched.
