American panties specially
designed for menstruation date to
at least to 1922
(commercial belts
came earlier). Since then
numberless styles appeared on the
market (see more)
and perhaps before then around the
world. Stopping leaking
menstrual blood from escaping the
pad or tampon or sponge or cup has
been an important industry.
Kotex sold such underwear before
(see column at left). This style,
disposable, appeared in the 1990s.
I thank the donor!

After looking around to see if neighbors were
watching - they weren't -
I set up
the mannequin in my back yard and
started taking pictures.
This is the front showing the reinforced
crotch.

The rear packs more protection
because of exposure when sitting
among
other reasons.
