358. 'Aishah said: "We would only have one garment, in which we would menstruate. If some blood fell on it, we would moisten (the area) with our saliva, then we would scratch it off with our nails while it was wet with saliva." (Sahih)
358 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ يَذْكُرُ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «مَا كَانَ لِإِحْدَانَا إِلَّا ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ تَحِيضُ فِيهِ، فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ دَمٍ بَلَّتْهُ بِرِيقِهَا، ثُمَّ قَصَعَتْهُ بِرِيقِهَا»

Considering all of the narrations from 'Āishah, and the wording of this narration, it is apparent that she would do this to the garment during menstruation, and also wash it later, meaning, after her menses had ended, this is explained by Al-Ĥāfiz Ibn Ḥajar in his comments on this Hadīth in Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī no. 312.
