German Menstruation Drawers |
|
|
|
|
|
These were actually quite clever, since many women believed that sponges and pads that absorbed blood, were detrimental to good health.
With this device, there was a reservoir to hold the fluid which could be empied and cleaned. You wore it as you would panties or drawers and it was well concealed in the full skirts of the day. |
