Answer
Build a free standing frame.
The first idea is something like a shogi screen but then I thought of those free standing chalkboards we had in class rooms when I was a kid.
Basically, it is a "T" made of 2"x4" boards 7' high(or less if you have low ceilings). Turn them with the T side(like feet about six inches long) down and connect with a 2"x2" board across the top and bottom approximately the length of the largest blank wall.
With a plant in a heavy pot at each end (to keep kids or pets from climbing ) hang fabric from the frame, you can hide a hallway or ugly closet doors leaving openings to access them.
You can hang a lot of gathered fabric to make a tent effect, or just stretch it and staple it to the frame for a fresh canvas look that you can change the color of seasonally if you like.
Also if you stand your screen eight to ten inches from the wall you can hide ugly book cases or clutter and back light it with a lamp for mood and always present a fresh clean uncluttered line.

Answer
There are many tribes whose traditions for womens menses involved a variety of activities that precluded wearing feminine products. It was a tradition among some tribes that women lived in separate tents and wore deer thatch (very soft pleasant feeling hide) to slow the bleeding. most tribes forbade women from doing any manual labor, any activities with the tribe, even forbade them from doing housework/hutwork. They were required to sit rest or walk, take many baths and eat the healthiest foods (usually also the most tasty) available. In some south American tribes the use of cocoa was forbidden except during menses and was strictly kept for women. Once the development of cotton clothing occurred women wore a variety of cloths to regulate the flow. While rural women in America wore cottons many people wore silk or linens with similar material to the modern feminine products. Those "rags" as they were called were thrown away or washed depending on the culture and were actually as hygienic as the products you use today, if not more comfortable. There are many women throughout the world who do not use products instead still using the "rags"
But really what's interesting is not what they wore but how often they wore it. According to the best research women have to use theose products 600 times in their lifetime on average. Yet women from earlier time periods often had to use them far less as little as 100 in a lifetime. Part of this was because they had more kids and fewer menses accordingly but apparently in general women had fewer menses in any given year, 7 to the modern women's 12, and each menses was shorter by at least a day, and it also produced less bleeding. So while you have good products they just used them less. Which would you rather have 7 short periods with cotton, or 12 long periods with modern feminine products?
