Black Underwear to Hide Stains

Menstruation is a natural thing, and women today equip themselves with the necessary products to indulge in the best hygiene practices. “Free periods” are a big no-no of today though, in the early 1800s, it was normal for women just to let it flow. For women who lived in rural areas, they wouldn’t pay much attention to it and gave nature the ability to do as it wished. This practice led them to start wearing black underwear so the stain would not show so much.

In the modern age, there are period panties that are designed to absorb the extra fluid the body dispels (a great work of technology). A lot of people have resorted to using them (though a taboo) instead of using tampons and pads. Just imagine a woman having to wash her undies after a heavy-flow day.
