And, of course, the first Tampax AND - special
for you! - the American fax tampon,
from the early 1930s, which also came in bags.
See a Modess True or False? ad in The American
Girl magazine, January 1947, and actress Carol Lynley
in "How Shall I Tell My Daughter" booklet ad (1955) - Modess . . . . because ads (many dates).

Quest menstrual pad deodorant (two ads and can)
The older ad appeared in March 1937 for a product of International Cellucotton
Products Co., which made Kotex. Kimberley-Clark, which today makes Kotex,
started that company about 1920 to make Kotex, apparently because it did
not want menstruation associated with K-C.
A friend of MUM in California gave the can (below
the ad) to this museum. It looks as if it's more recent than the
ad.
The second ad is from an American magazine, January, 1959.
