Hey sorry i keep asking questions like this...i'm not uninformed just have someone who's asking me...?

Question

What did they do like in the old times when they had the periods? Like before pads? And what did Edward do when Bella had her period?

Answer 1

In the old times they use to use this diaper looking thing, like a sheet u would have to pin on. And the book never says anything when Bella got her period and what Edward did.  

Answer 2

ha sorry i dont have an answer but you just made me bust out laughing.  i never though about when bella had her period.  that would suck for edward lol.  =D

Answer 3

Are you familiar with he term "Rag".

Yes, "On The Rag".

Answer 4

'And what did Edward do when Bella had her period?'

This question popped up in my head also, I have nooo idea.

And I know that in Africa they'll make the woman crouch in this hut that's outside of the little living area until her period was over.  

Answer 5

my nan told me when they young, they didn't bathe during their period and they were said to be "ill" and it would be unsanitary to bathe.

Answer 6

in pour country's they just use rags so they probably did that back then  

Answer 7

Before pads women used pieces of cloth or a rag (hence the phrase 'on the rag'). In some cultures they have to stay home when bleeding since they had no protection. That is still practiced in Africa in some places.

I don't care about the fictional characters you speak of.  

Answer 8

I dont know, I guess they just bled on their garments, thats why women in Israel were "unclean" under the mosaic law when they were on their period.

Answer 9

back in the day they use to stuff a rag  up there... thats why people today say "im on the rag"  ( or they do here at least)    and im not sure who edward and bella are.  

Answer 10

rags. That's where that saying  "on the rag" comes from...

Answer 11

Women normally used some form of a small towel or cloth and put it in their undergarments. In some cultures, the women didn't do anything at all. I have no clue what Edward did. I never read those books...

Answer 12

Answer 13

They prolly just waded up fabric to absorb the blood. That's what someone told me. Research it [:

Answer 14

in the olden days they had used just cloths and left over pieces of fabric. it was completely disgusting. and as for Edward and Bella. period blood is not as yummy as regular blood. of course it's appealing but not even close to fresh, untouched, blood. plus period blood just sits there(dead without it circulating and receiving oxygen through the blood stream) while fresh blood gets all the nutrients and oxygen it needs to stay vibrant and sweet

Answer 15

he controlled himself just like every other time and way back when they made their own pads and tampons from cloth they would wash like how dipars used to be cloth as well :]

Answer 16

well they used rags in the old days....u kno, a piece of cloth

but who is Edward and Bella =S  ?
