They were "indisposed". I am so glad for modern technology and tampons! Although, I wouldn't mind an excuse to lay around for several days a month :)Eliza Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209596240914705136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-85736880099270709302011-09-08T21:28:01.448-04:002011-09-08T21:28:01.448-04:00(Let me try my comment again.

Drawers make it rather easy to pin those towels into place...<br /><br />I know that many cultures, women just bled down their legs and no one cared. That would also make sense in periods where women wore huge dresses and all that. I do find it interesting, however, once you hit the skimpier dresses of the Regency, since those have a lot less fabric to catch the mess, so to speak. And light colours were rather popular. Perhaps everyone just stayed home those nights?Krista D.
