Ad for Brevia Confetti menstrual tampons & panty pads (pantiliners) (13 June 1988, Kimberly-Clark Corp., in Elle magazine, France) See the first Confetti page.     My translation of the tampon text: Confetti, my new tampon. It's fun with its small package in rose candy, yellow fruit, green menthol and mauve colors. My tampon Confetti is reliable. It's made of natural fibers, soft and absorbent. Thanks to its rounded end, it positions itself easily without an applicator. Completely soft, completely white and totally sweet [!]. Confetti, it's my little bit of silliness. Mine. [See a British ad about tampon roundness, comparing it to a penis.] My translation of the pantyliner ad: With their sour motif, rose candy, yellow fruit, green menthol and mauve, the panty-pads Confetti are the little bit of silliness in my underpants. [!] For an American, this text almost defies comment.   Large pantypad text: Panty protector from Brevia Large tampon text, not reproduced here: Confetti tampons from Brevia See French ads for o.b. tampons (1989; very clever!) and Modess pads, showing nudity. © 1999 Harry Finley.
