See a 3-D Dr White's ad, an ad
contest for Dr White's and wearing Dr White's
with a thong. And a penis-tampon
ad (they finally yielded to the temptation).

Potpourri of tampon and menstrual towel (pad)
ads from the United Kingdom
Dr[.] White's (date? publication?)
British advertising for menstrual products can be very funny. An official
from the company that made Tampax visited the museum when it was in my house and mentioned that it would soon make more
amusing ads - and it did just that.
But the ads on the following pages, if hot hilarious (see the list at left for those), sometimes give a different
slant on the topic. Enjoy!
I thank very much the contributor from the
U.K.!
See another two-page Dr White's ad, with moons
yet, and showing its advantage with thongs..
And here's a contest to make an ad for Dr
White's pads.
(See a non-menstrual funny ad on the back
of a Dr White's ad, just to see how much humor there is in some British
publications.)

Using a bus to show "coming back"
is brilliant, made more so by the woman's backward gaze.
See another "coming back" ad.
Date and publication unknown.
