Pulu
Pulu is a silky material obtained from the fibers of the hapuu pulu (''Cibotium glaucum''), a tree fern of Hawaii. It is made of the brown hairs that cover the young fiddlehead as it uncoils. ==Ancient Hawaii== In ancient Hawaii, pulu (which means "mulch" or "padding" in the Hawaiian language〔) was used to embalm the dead. Women used pulu as an absorbent during their menstrual cycle. When their time came around, they were isolated to a house called ''hale pea'' or menstrual house. Men were strongly discouraged to set foot on the grounds of the hale pea, by strict social custom known as ''kapu''. Hawaiians organized the hapuu fern into two genders; male and female. Males had the tough pulu, and females had the soft pulu. All soiled pulu was then buried around the hale pea.
