Yes, in those days that is what happened, but did they actually call them, diapers? If that were the case I am sure it would have filtered down. |

You're thinking of "fags". > Faggot had other meanings long before it was used to denote a homosexual. It was a bundle of sticks, or a meat dish involving offal. Fagging was the custom of younger students in private schools having to wait on senior students. Since that sometimes involved sexual abuse it could be the origins of the *** pejorative. |

Sounds like a description of their function by a man, who didn't need them. I doubt it was ever common usage. |

We always called them 'towels'. > >Have we ever called them 'diapers'? Before the advent of feminine hygiene pads (also called napkins, or nappies) they were literally rags, torn strips of cotton/linen bedding... ergo "on the rag". Typically washed each night in the lavatory and hung from the shower curtain rod to dry... then folded and put away in one's bureau until next month. My mother had three younger sisters, I can remember vividly the bathroom full of those drying nappies, very frightening to a two year old. https://oureverydaylife.com/history-...-12081673.html I learned about sanitary napkins in a sorta embarrassing comical way. Many years ago I underwent surgery for a pilonidal cyst removal. Since the wound isn't closed it required showering a half dozen times a day to make sure no foriegn matter enters during healing. The doctor told me to keep the wound covered with Modess... well no one informed me that the sticky part of the pad attached to my underwear, not to my bare skin. During my next visit to the surgeon his entire staff had a good laugh at my expense... now its funny but wasn't funny then because no medical procedure is as painful as pilonidal cyst surgery healing, even child birth is easier. https://www.emedicinehealth.com/pilo...al_cyst_causes |

You're thinking of "fags". > Janet UK In the UK especially cigarettes were indeed refered to as fags... especially back in the days before ready mades. What most don't realize is that the US government promoted cigarette smoking when they subsidized the production of high speed cigarette machines as a way of generating tax revenue. Previously one had to roll their own, much more difficult to tax. |

I haven't heard them called STs since boarding school There was the interesting case of Lizzie Borden. I read a book that investigated her case very carefully and it was determined she couldn't/wouldn't defend herself properly because she would not allow the lawyer to say she had been in the basement at the time her father and stepmother were hacked up - washing her diapers. |
