Sanitary pads have long been something most men ignorantly shrink away from even talking about. But turns out this feminine product actually has a fascinating history that’s closely linked with men in all their glorious macho manliness.
As per this post revealed that the first #disposable sanitary pads were developed by nurses during the war in France. They were looking for a way to control the excessive bleeding among soldiers wounded on the battlefield. Inspired by a Ben Franklin invention that saved soldiers from buckshot wounds, these disposable napkins were made from materials that were easily obtainable during wartime. They were extremely absorbent and cheap enough to throw away after use.
Before this, women either did not use any menstrual devices or used reusable sanitary pads.
