They used rags, some of them made from cotton. Pads didn't come in to the picture til around World War I.

They sewed layers and layers of cloth and cotton together. I'll take tampons, thank you.

my grandma said people always used to say "i'm on the rag" or something like that when they were on their period, so it's like a lot of cloths together to absorb
