Below:
The 8 1/4 x 4 5/8" (21 x 11.7 cm)
instructions, folded twice, are
printed on both sides.
Note blue
menses and red uterus!
They just can't bring themselves
to make the flow red.
See the blue
liquid in a Dutch Amira ad.
I don't read Spanish so I cannot
translate the text for you. But I
DO recognize
"the
critical days of the period"
(center section: los dias criticos
del periodo)
- "critical" appears in several
languages.
Buenavista
lies close to Guatemala.
