Please go on the web to mum.org. This web site will give you the complete story of what ladies did and used back then. This web site has a lot of other interesting stories, jokes, and pictures about menstruation.

I actually know this because my grandmother kept a diary. They used cotton batting (a lot like cotton balls) wrapped in a piece of cotton much like a cloth diaper. It had to be changed frequently and while the batting was thrown out the rest of the cloths had to be boiled and reused (ugh!)
