I don't know how to say it in English. My native language is not English. What was used before women's pads were found?

sorry for the pronunciation error

I imagine they used the same thing as they use today when they can't afford modern products. Just because something exists doesn't mean everyone uses it - either because it's not available or because they can't afford it. Even in a modern first world country like the US, not all women use modern products. I know from first hand experience with someone I dated.

People shouldn't take things for granted, not even food, water and shelter.

As for your English, the wording of your question was fine and completely understandable.

thanks for the info. It was a very revealing article.:)

I wasn't sure, either.

So I googled:

https://onthetudortrail.com/Blog/2015/02/10/the-lady-in-red-medieval-menstruation/#:~:text=Medieval%20women%20had%20two%20choices,%E2%80%9Con%20the%20rag%E2%80%9D).

and found information that I had expected.

[justFriend]

thank you very much for answer :)

[andreasderjuengere]

that's why we are here 😁

[justFriend]

yes, I know, but in the country where I live, it's out of kindness :)

[andreasderjuengere]

That sounds uncomfortable. Sorry to hear that.

[justFriend]

why is that sad?

[andreasderjuengere]

No kindness -to me- sounds like an overall culture of not admitting that people have emotional needs.
That's a bit rough.

[justFriend]

I understand. It is not rude to thank you for a task or request given to you here :)

[andreasderjuengere]

Not at all. Out of interest: which is your heartless country?

My Father did 3 tours in Vietnam and the Vietnamese women would steal the GIs socks to use as pads. He said you had to watch your socks.

[justFriend]

ooooooo this is interesting :)

[melanieeeB]

Cotton, fabric, nothing or pregnancy... as far as I know lol

[justFriend]

Rabbit skins is what I was told. Same for shoes. It must've been a crusty nasty smelling mess. What's your main language?

[justFriend]

Türkish :)
