As One Girl
to Another (puberty & menstruation
booklet from
Kotex sanitary napkins, 1940, U.S.A.)
See the first
page for a general discussion of the
booklet.
See an ad offering this
free booklet! And see a tin of Quest powder (and an ad
for it). Kotex, on page 10,
recommended sprinkling the powder
on pads to stop the odor. (Read what causes
the odor of menstruation.) The booklet
mentions Fibs tampon, the Kotex
tampon, developed in the 1930s, on
page 16. Fibs had no applicator,
unlike its main competitor, the
two-tube Tampax (read and see the first
Tampax?).
