my mother had to use a rag and clean it every time. hence "on the rag" although this generation doesn't say that I guess.

Interesting article. It wasn't spoken about when I was a teenager in the 1970s and belts were commonplace. My mom never spoke to me about periods!

I used to use Dr White’s Sanitary towels with a belt. They were really uncomfortable and used to rub like mad and chafe. Horrible things.

When I started senior school in 1975 the belt with cotton wool brick and safety pins were what was available to you if you went to the school nurse!!

You mean "the curse"? My family would not let me join in the canning of our fresh garden vegetables because it would spoil them and cause them to go bad.
