Small Kotex menstrual pad ad, 1920s, U.S.A. Part of Kotex's popularity was its appeal to travelers, who no longer had to bring containers for wet pads and supplies to wash them; sometimes they burned the used pads. The company made a series of small ads like the above in the 1920s for newspapers and small magazines.
