, you might unexpectedly uncover some deep-seated, menstrual-related trauma that had long been buried in the crevices of your brain. For me, it was, let alone how to manage the heavy bleeding, headaches, and cramps that had me doubled over in pain each month.
Curious how drastically period products have changed over the decades? In many ways, we've sorta come full circle, as Lara Freidenfelds, a historian of health, reproduction, and parenting, noted in her 2009 book Early disposable pads were hardly discreet. In fact, up until the early 1970s, they came attached to sanitary belts, because who doesn't want to wear a pair of period suspenders every month?!, ditching the belts and hooks for an adhesive strip that allowed the pad to stay in place inside your underwear. Around this time, more brands started to pop up in popularity, including variations for size and flow, as well as scented options and pads with wings.
