Cotton Fibers I.E. Rags

Cloth pads, usually. In some areas they used natural fibers like moss, grasses, or cotton. And in some times and eras, they (brace yourself) just bled into their clothes.
There's actually a Museum of Menstruation, of all things, and there's some historical information at http://www.mum.org/pastgerm.htm.

You've heard the expression "on her rags"? That should give you a hint. Basically they would use old rags that didn't matter if they got stained. Whether or not they were reused I don't know.

Nothing, now - I'm sure none have them have survived this long. You are asking in the present tense - so don't try to trick us.
