From Fiction to Fact: a teaching guide about puberty, menstruation and the human reproductive system [sex education for children in school] Tambrands, Tampax menstrual tampons, 1986, U.S.A. Along with other early tampon makers in the early-mid 1930s in America, Tampax vigorously promoted tampons to an unknowing and suspicious public. Starting probably in the late 1940s, companies like Modess, Kotex, Pursettes, Tampax made, and sometimes still make, kits for schools, enabling teachers to use the material to explain menstruation and puberty to American girls - today, sometimes also to boys - and let the captive audience see their products, hoping they will use them for life; they often did. Sometimes the companies also supplied films, such as the famous one from Walt Disney.
