How were they doing it before sanitary pads?

cotton wool and tissues

and rags too

@Post,

Confinement in sanitary quarters designed just for that purpose. Its kinda like a quarantine.

The horror!!!!!!!!!,

I guess they used dried leaves

no need guessing.
chat up your granny, you will be suprised.

They dug holes and squatted over these holes letting the blood drip in there.I just shudder thinking about it.

They wore napkins

I'm sure they used rags and were regarded as unclean
Tufiakwa!!

Why do you wanna know?

LOL! you guys are hilarious and nutty!


Well, they bought a roll of Cloth and then they cut it to pieces enough to support the panty. And after each use, they would wash it and hang it to dry and reuse it again and again untill the cloth could not be used no more. That was my great grandmother, my grandmother and my mother's time.

Silly question! What do you think?

they use fuke fuke

palm fronds and raffia

I'll stick with the rag thing. At least that's what my grandma told me. They recycled it as they were not rich enough to throw anything away.

Asinine?? Isn't that a little too strong?

Your reply is more asinine than the topic itself. Agreeably the topic is risque but your dismissal in totally inappropriate. you easily have sidelined rather than wasting your contribution!!!

why would someone come up with a topic such as this of all issues and you think asinine is too strong? i wonder what kind of convo she was thinking of starting with such inane topic

I think there are enough things they could av used in stopping d blood stuf, i'm more concerned about how they stopped pregnancy then when their was no condoms and medical preventive measures.

May be they didn't use any thing they just stayed at home five/six days a month. . . . . . . . .

hhhmmmmmmmm!

good luck guys
