MENSTRUAL PRACTICE

"WE MADE OUR OWN NAPKINS SINCE THE COMMERCIAL TYPES WERE NOT
AVAILABLE. THEY, THE NAPKINS, WERE MADE OF FLANNEL AND LAUNDERED
BY US."
"THE WATER THAT WE USED WHEN WE LAUNDERED THEM WAS NEVER POURED
INTO THE PUBLIC SEWER BUT ALWAYS POURED ON THE GROUND IN THE YARD."

Submitter comment: PRACTISED AS A GIRL AT HOME.
