I know this is kind of strange to post, but I was fascinated when I discovered this advert for a sanitary belt from the early 20th century - so that’s what our ancestors did! The second photo is a “Sanitary Skirt Protector,” which I find quite genius.

Sanitary Belt from 1909, Woolnough Corsetiers

Sanitary Skirt Protector, 1913 (Source Unknown)

Advertisement from Grands magasins au printemps Paris, Winter 1909-1910. I love the dots on the corset in the upper left and the cameo lace on the bottom left corset!
