sure glad that i had access to disposables for periods. My mom mentioned having to wash out her "rags" when she was young.
probably not that much grosser than rinsing poop diapers.
Wonder what people did before cloth and disposables?
Oh yes... disposable for pads.
As for diapers in the past (way back), I, too, have often wondered about that.
I am so grateful that rubber pants were around when I was diapering, otherwise the thought of using straight plain old cloth diapers like in the olden days would have pushed me to use Pampers.
