This happened about the time I was first starting to use the toilet on my own.
My mom would take me to the bathroom, and sometimes I would notice that she would put these weird things in her underwear. I thought that it was there so that she could pee without having to go to the bathroom. I wanted to do the same thing, so when she wasn't looking, I used to wad up some toilet paper and put it in my underwear too.
When I was eleven and got my first period, it all made sense...
