I am old to remember my mom made hand mad sanitary pad for herself and my sisters, because of there was no factory to produce machine made pad for women and newborn babys.
I used this set when I was in high school. When My son was is elementary school I but one set like this to give him when he went to highschool. It was upon a time because when he was a highschool boy everything switched to computer so it was useless,but I kept it up to now.
