                          Pursettes tampons
                            ad, Seventeen magazine, May 1974 
                          
                          
                            
                              
                                
                                  
                                    Pursettes had a lubricated tip
                                      like Dale
                                        tampon from probably a
                                      couple decades before.
                                    But the ads exphasized its size,
                                      helped because it had no
                                      applicator. Almost all tampons in
                                      the early decades after tampons
                                      appeared in the 1930s had no applicator,
                                      Tampax
                                      being the famous exception but
                                      there were others.
