Potpourri of tampon and menstrual towel (pad)
ads from the United Kingdom
Kotex Feminine Towels with Safety Shield (1978, publication?)

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.)


 Date unknown but probably 1978.
Two words . . .
 Oct. 1978
. . . four letters each . . .
Nov. 1978
. . . serious faces.
     
 More Kotex pads and tampons.
