Where it was available, native Americans used sphagnum moss to line diapers. Free for the taking, sanitary, and easily burned — what more could you want?

Sphagnum (peat) moss has also been used for centuries to dress wounds. It was also used for feminine hygiene (sanitary pads). Johnson & Johnson sold sanitary pads lined with processed sphagnum moss, in the early 1990’s.
