<> modern people call women's menstruation "big aunt", which sounds subtle and harmonious, so let's call it. When modern women come to the "big aunt", they use sanitary napkins and disposable products, which are simple and convenient, and the leak-proof effect is very good. However, this thing is only more than 100 years old and has only been popularized in China for a few decades.

So, in the thousands of years of history in ancient times, without sanitary napkins, how can women prevent leaks when they come to the "big aunt"?

During the primitive society, people were unclothed and semi-naked. When women come to the "Great Aunt", they are isolated to live outside the tribe and come back when they are clean. The woman doesn't have any scientific measures to deal with the "big aunt", just just find something like hay or leaves to wipe the blood and it's over.

In feudal society, the social productive forces were constantly improved, and the quality of the people was also improved. Women began to use "menstrual cloths" to prevent the leakage of "great aunts". "Menstrual cloth" is also called "menstrual belt".

This thing is not sold in the market, it is the unique skill of mother to daughter, handmade, each family has its own characteristics, color, length, size are not the same, but its basic structure is similar. The practice is: cut into a rectangular shape about 10 cm wide with a clean cloth, and some according to their own needs, the two sides are slightly widened, similar to today's sanitary napkins anti-leakage wings, "menstrual belt" has a slender rope at both ends, and the woman is also tied with an elastic band or a cloth belt around her waist, and the rope of the "menstrual belt" is tied to it.

A small opening is opened in the middle of the "menstrual belt", which is filled with some plant ash, which has the effect of water absorption, dampness and antivirus. The "menstrual belt" can be reused, just replace the plant ash inside, wash it with water and dry it, and prepare it for next time. Later, when some wealthy people washed the "menstrual belt", they added some alum to the water, which could play a role in sterilization and disinfection.

China is a country of civilization and etiquette, and its words are relatively subtle. Today's women say sanitary napkins as "bread" to avoid embarrassment. In ancient China, people also took some nice names for the "menstrual belt", such as "noodles with cinnabar" and "wearing rings".

Women are very careful to use and store this thing for fear of being known. Some couples have lived together for decades, and the husband still doesn't know what the "menstrual belt" is.

In China's more than 2,000 years of feudal society, when women come to the "big aunt", they have been using the "menstrual belt" to prevent leakage, although the times are changing, but the "menstrual belt" has basically not changed much, at most it is only the shape, cloth and other aspects of some improvement. In the forties of the twentieth century, European and American sanitary napkins entered the Chinese market, and things like "menstrual belts" gradually withdrew from the historical stage.

Unexpectedly, although sanitary napkins are women's products, its inventor is actually a man, it was invented by a man in the United States, this person loves his wife very much, in order to eliminate the troubles brought by the "big aunt" to his wife, he studied hard and invented sanitary napkins. Soon, sanitary napkins became popular in European and American countries, and later spread all over the world.

Every time a woman reaches her menstrual period, she will use a kind of "menstrual belt" made by herself, that is, a rough linen cloth one finger wide and more than ten centimeters long, sewn strips of cloth at both ends, and whenever the menstrual period comes, you can take it out and use it. When the menstrual period is over, wash the "menstrual belt" with water, and you can keep it for the next month.

In ancient times, no sanitary napkin would be padded with cloth, and the blood-sucking effect of cloth was also very strong. It was used by girls in ancient times.

Because in ancient times, women would use menstrual belts, so it was okay to clean them up in time every time they used it.

They would use local materials, some hay, or leaves, and they would use animal skins, or tree bark to make aunt towels, and ancient women would use sponges, or grass and other things to solve such problems.

Put the treated plant ash into a small strip of cloth, and then tie it around your waist, and replace the plant ash when it is dirty.

Use grass ash, burn grass ash with special plants and put it in the cloth towel strip, the cloth strip with good conditions is better, and the cloth with general conditions is worse.

It's a little ash with a bunch. The ash is sterilized. When you run out, throw it away. It's very convenient. Also safe. Nowadays people use sanitary napkins. A lot of diseases are caused by using unhygienic things.

Cotton cloth or linen cloth, anyway, it is a cloth that absorbs water quickly, wrapped in a kind of cotton paper, which is for rich people, and ordinary people use cloth that absorbs water quickly to wrap grass and wood ash.
