by Dena Taylor, Sue Smith-Heavenrich:
"Historically, women simply caught their menstrual blood, using whatever methods were available. Native American women used bird down, cattail down, moss, buckskin, rolled buffalo hair, soft buffalo skin, shredded bard, and sheep pelts. (23) Egyptian women of the 15th century used soft papyrus tampons. (24) Women living close to the sea used sponges. Many of our mothers and grandmothers used rags.

Disposable towels were developed as early as 1886, but they could not be marketed because advertising such a product was considered immoral. In 1921 gauze pads were manufactured, and by 1924 they were being advertised in the Ladies Home Journal. (25) Tampons first appeared in 1936."
