In primitive society, women didn't have any treatment when they came to menstruation, and only used hay or leaves to wipe blood.

In slave society, when women come to menstruation, they will put some dry things on their bodies to absorb dirty blood, such as animal skin and bark.

In feudal society, when women menstruate, they used a kind of sanitary belt, which was a long piece of cloth with two ends tied around their waist with thin threads, with absorbent materials such as plant ash, toilet paper or white paper sandwiched between them. This sanitary belt needs to be cleaned and dried repeatedly. Rich families may be more prepared, and there may be only one poor family.

In modern society, women begin to use disposable sanitary napkins after menstruation, which is the progress brought by the development of papermaking and medical technology.

When ancient women came to menstruation, they had to face not only health problems, but also various taboos and discrimination. For example, you can't go to the temple to worship Buddha, you can't attend funeral sacrifices, you can't have sex with men and so on. These are all physical and psychological injuries to women. Therefore, we should be grateful for the respect and care given to women by modern society, and also cherish the sanitary and comfortable living conditions we have.
