Period hygiene through history

From ancient times to modern days, women needed to find a way to manage their periods. Here’s a brief history of how they’ve done it.

Egyptians made tampons from papyrus, Romans used wool pads, while Greeks made tampons of lightweight wood wrapped with lint.

Medieval European women used Blood moss - an extremely absorbent plant, while Victorians wore sanitary belts to collect the blood.

Fast forward a few decades, and the first commercialized tampon was invented around 1930’s!
