THE MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH

Tampax menstrual tampon ad, U.K., August 1991
Company magazine

The British tend to have funnier ads than other Europeans and the Americans. Using every reason as a #1 is clever and reminds me of a great French o.b. tampon ad.

See a funny Libresse ad on a phone booth in London. And see a series of humorous British ads.

Below: The top picture shows the ad spreading over two pages in the magazine. Each page measures 8.75 x 11.75" (22.2 x 29.9 cm).
Below that is the enlarged left-hand part. See the right -hand side up close.
