A woman asked the Prophet (Hadith 456). Narrated ʿAisha: A woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, "Take a perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it." She said,' "How shall I clean myself with it, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
