Those who are curious about the history of sanitary pads used by women during their menstrual periods, come here. How was the pad invented? What is the Invention and History of the Women’s Pad? The answer to your questions is in our article…

Sanitary pads are one of the most widely used hygiene products by women all over the world. Women generally prefer to use sanitary pads during menstruation due to their ease of use, ease of access and comfort. Although the sanitary pads used today are produced using synthetic or cotton materials, access to sanitary pads was not so comfortable until very recently. In fact, the idea of ​​finding a solution to this situation that every woman has experienced since the beginning of humanity has only 50 years of history.

Although sanitary pads in their current form started to be produced about 50 years ago, the first example of a hygiene product, which we can call the first women’s pad and used to stop menstrual bleeding, was found in the Ancient Greek civilization of the 10th century.

Before sanitary pads started to be produced with easily biodegradable and disposable materials, women used materials such as cloth pieces, cotton, sheep’s wool to stop their menstrual bleeding. Knitted pads knitted with thick woolen threads, rabbit fur and even grass are some of the interesting things that women use to spend their menstrual period more comfortably.

The advent of the disposable sanitary pad

Because women were embarrassed when buying pads, Johnson & Johnson’s sanitary napkin in the early 1920s was renamed ‘Nupak’, which does not contain the word ‘pad’. ”

Disposable pads were first used by nurses to stop heavy bleeding during the war. These pads, whose raw material is made of pulp, were quite reasonable for one-time use as they were sufficiently absorbent and inexpensive. The manufacturers, who liked this idea, which was used for the first time during the war and born out of necessity, went into mass production and presented the first hygienic pad to women with the product they developed under the name of ‘Southball Pad’ in 1888.

 8 years after the production of Southball Pad, another company in America developed and released the pad called ‘Lister’s Towel’.

Despite the fact that a product that is so needed is developed and delivered to the consumer through mass production in much cheaper and easier ways, sales were not at the level expected by the manufacturers because women were embarrassed when buying this product.

 For this reason, the name of the sanitary napkin produced by Johnson & Johnson in the early 1920s was changed to ‘Nupak’, which does not contain the word ‘pad’. Again, in order to prevent women from being embarrassed when buying this product, products were started to be sold by leaving money in a box without ever communicating with the cashier.

Threads were added to the pads, which are very difficult to stay in underwear, which will facilitate their use and can be attached to the clothes worn. ”

Sanitary napkins, which became more accessible after mass production, were sold at prices that might seem expensive for many women. For this reason, despite the minority using disposable sanitary pads, most of the women still preferred to use traditional methods.

The first disposable sanitary napkins were generally made of cotton or fiber covered with an absorbent surface and were used by placing them in underwear. Afterwards, threads were added to these pads, which are very difficult to stay in underwear, which will facilitate their use and can be tied to the clothes worn. In the 1980s, threaded pads also went out of fashion, and women’s pads became the most similar to today’s.

New generation sanitary napkins with cottony surface

For the last 20 years, pad manufacturers have started to create more innovative ideas every day to make women’s special days more comfortable and comfortable. Sanitary napkins become more and more comfortable as time passes, with wings that allow the pad to hold the laundry, lengths that vary according to the bleeding intensity, and sizes that are getting thinner.
