There is lots of lore, stories, methods. Rolled up fabric, which is rinsed. (Make yer own pads, sun dry.) In the old days, pregnancy lol, long term (up to 2 years) breastfeeding inhibits menses for a lot of women, ...
I heard a really nice one, aboriginal. The women in the group tended to menstruate at the same time, lunar earth kind of togetherness. So, at menses time, they all take off, sit on moss stones for a week, catch up with each other, sewing, the grandparents look after the kids
Then at ovulation time, the women get all (especially!!) amorous again, and the men have missed them too. There were known herbs for inducing abortions, just as others for encouraging fetal growth or labour etc.
