I am not an expert but I have read a bit on the subject. So the first thing is… they probably didn’t have to deal with it a lots in their life. Food was scarce, so they had regular occurrences of secondary amenorrhea, then when food supply was better and they were fertile again, boom, pregnant for 9months and then breastfeeding for 3-5years which will suppress periods for a time too (sometimes the entire time). But when they actually had their period, either free flow of it was a hotter climate, or a rag/moss/dry leaves in a colder climate, as it is still done in some parts of the world. Of course, this is all speculations, but those are things that are known about populations that, even recently, had no access to modern hygiene products.
