Rating American menstrual pads
and tampons for absorption in 1949
(Consumer Reports, selections)
Page 1
The
influential and valuable
American magazine Consumer
Reports helped women pick
menstrual pads and tampons as
far as absorbency was concerned
in this 1949 issue. For comfort,
often a problem with menstrual
products, it advised women to
try different products; comfort
was hard to put in numbers since
it would vary from women to
woman and maybe period to period
- or hour to hour.
And Macy's
and Bloomingdale's department
stores had their own brands (see
the last page)!
I thank
Tambrands, the former maker of
Tampax tampons, for giving me
this photocopy!
