Moss Pads
Dealing with menstrual cycles was not fun at all during medieval times. Tampons and pads obviously weren’t accessible, so women had to resort elsewhere. Women of lower-class communities would use moss to soak up their flow. Although it is natural, they would grab from any moss tree they could find.

While today we consider taking off your hat at the table normal, in the Medieval Era they actually left their hat on during meals. If they did take their hats off, they would let down a family of lice onto the table. Don’t be surprised if that soup is a bit crunchy tonight!
