Right, the idea that women get angry and crazy around period time is mostly a myth. Mood changes are a symptom but they're not as common as people make them out to be and are highly exaggerated. Mood change is one of the few symptoms I experience OOC, but it's depression rather than aggression. Periods do vastly differ between women so trying to pin down how 'periods should be portrayed' is tough. Every woman's is different!
Personally, I have very mild periods that barely hinder me. Many times I don't even get a single cramp for the duration.Â
I would just go with what medieval eras used for bleeding. Eorzea isn't particularly technologically advantaged--that's Garlemald. Â Eorzea only tends to make up for technological advances with magic. (Ice crystals for ice boxes, for example)
Mostly what I know of for that would be re-usable rags, similar to pads, but probably not as convenient or comfortable.
