Since there were no disposable sanitary napkins or tampons, women used cloths up until at least the First World War, when some French nurses got the idea to use pads that were designed for use on wounds, which could be discarded after being used. It was an idea that caught on.
The menstrual cloths were washed and reused.

I think they used a rolled cloth pressed against them along with cloths in that area. Also I'm sure they didn't go out anywhere for the entire week. I'm not too sure on that but I do know the custom for periods with the Peublo Indians I read that in a book, lol.. Good luck

Rags very simple. They tore up old clothes and made rags out of them.

They used pieces of rags, thus where the term came from.
