MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH
Ad for Kotex sanitary napkins,
U.S.A., 1942, magazine unknown)
Has the Iraq war changed menstrual
products advertising? I don't think
so. But World War II changed Kotex
advertising just as it affected radio
programs in the early 1940s (I just
listened to the Great Gildersleeve
pitch war bonds to fight the Nazis).
The word blackout gives away the war
and the volunteer theme might also
refer to it. But for sure the ad ran
in 1942.

The boy shows effort - look at his
hair and tilt of the eyebrows - but
the girl is composed. Of course! She
wears Kotex!
