See the roughly contemporary Cashay and Dale tampons, and very early Tampax
and fax. See Society
menstrual pad, probably from the 1920s-30s.
See a shorter version of the report published
in Consumer Reports, in the September 1945 issue. It is less technical than
the JAMA original, although approved by Dickinson.

"Tampons as menstrual guards"
("The Dickinson Report," 1945)
Read about this here.
Dickinson discusses how much menstrual discharge women lose, the
structure of the vulva,
vagina, uterus, the disadvantages of sanitary napkins, and how tampons perform.
Run your mouse over fig. 7 (left-hand illustration)
to see some of the tampons and pad shown.
A Dutchman kindly donated this report to MUM.
