I don't know if you've seen this. It's a commercial being run on TV by Tampax brand tampons. It will tell you that girls in Africa can't attend school when on their period because they don't have protection.

What, oh what, did women do before Proctor & Gamble released Tampax brand Tampons??
We didn't go to school, for one thing. We didn't plow the fields or collect the chicken eggs. We didn't do the wash or make dinner, or even tend to the children. Entire farms failed within that 3-7 day time frame when the woman of the house got her period because Tampax hadn't been invented yet.
Call me crazy, but tampons haven't been around that long. Call me insane, but it seems that girls and women alike survived and worked (very, very hard) before the invention of tampons.
Here's a kookie question, just to settle my own curiosity. What did women use before bleached cotton on a sticky tap with wings? What did Bible times women up till 1900 use?
Try not to gross us all out with your comments, but I really would like to know! The best guess I can come up with is a wad of sheeps' wool wrapped in a cloth.
Is that reuseable? EWWWWWWWW!!
