Actually what did any female do when her period started before pads were invented?

Answer 1

Just let loose.

They made their own. Pads are hardly a new invention. They go back several thousand years.

Answer 3

I often wonder this myself... I think they just used rags.. that's why it's called being "on the rag" sometimes...

Answer 4

They used what we call rags.  They used skin from an animal to cover themselves up. So that they wouldn't bleed every where.

I think they use anything, or they but put cloth in there underwear? If they even wear that.

Answer 6

probably hide pads stuffed with moss, or wool somthing that is absorbant.

Answer 7

i know that women in remote african tribes pick wild cotton to use as pads, but native americans, wouldn't have a clue. probably something similar.
