many women up until the 20th century would simply bleed into petticoats. Yes rags were very common as well, how often these were changed depended on the intensity of the mesntrual flow. Cloth could be held up against the body using special "girdles" and in the victorian era special "sanitary aprons" (basically waterproof/resistant petticoats) could be used as well

This "research" is lacking, at least their attempt to convince people is lacking. They say the size is too small for anything but humans. Then they say there's a lot of additional evidence that corroborates this claim, yet they don't offer any of that. So after that entire article, the conclusion is they must be for human slaves because they are small.
