A page from the catalog of the German company Thalysia, showing douche
and menstruation supplies, 1933 (page 1 - pages 2,
3, 4, 5)
Americans weren't the only ones to douche - a practice
discouraged today because it can harm the vagina - as this German page
of ads attests.
(Read also an Australian ad for douche apparatus
in a banned publication, about 1900. See an American douche bulb in a book promoting the practice authored by the woman
who might have sold the first successful menstrual cup in the world, a predecessor
of the Keeper cup. And see instructional material
for an American company that sold douche equipment
and menstrual cups at Tupperware-like parties in women's
houses!)
