| | bawełniane podpaski na podtrzymującym pasku/na pasku podtrzymującym | Explanation:
Before manufactured sanitary napkins became available and affordable, women made their own by sewing or folding absorbent cloth into thick pads. They attached them to some sort of belt with loops, pins or clasps. The napkins would be washed and re-used many times. Sometimes they were made from purpose-bought fabric, but often women would cut up old and worn towels, nappies, sheets or pillow cases – in other words, 'rags'.
Please view the webiste for a picture of Woman's sanitary napkin, replica, cotton, handmade in the style of pads used in the Netherlands around 1930s-1950s, Australia, 2004.
