When it was that time of the month for women, what did they use during the 16th and 17th and 18th centuries? Kotex wasn't even around.

Yep, it was RAGS!! That's where the phrases "on the rag" when someone was being bitchy or someone's "ragging on you" came from.

Ssidenote: whilst i replaced into youthful, the blue liquid perplexed the hell out of me. i replaced into so beneficial it replaced into going to be blue and that excited me a splash.

Per my friend's grandmother, they had to use rags in the 1930s, during the depression. She said they had to cut up towels, and that they had to wash and reuse them.

Fabric.....rags....and they would use them just for that.....for thqat time of the month...so that if they wee stained, it really wouldnt matter as long as they were clean. My mother told me this as she had lived on a farm and that is what her relatives did.
