Instruction insert leaflet for
Fibs tampons (1930s-1940s?)
from Kotex (U.S.A.)
Fibs was the first major Kotex
tampon (see two possible predecessors),
appearing
in the late 1930s, and like Wix and fax,
had no applicator; Tampax
(which appeared before 1936) owned
the patent
for applicators.
See the actual tampon
and an ad
for it. See the roughly
contemporary Cashay
and Dale
tampons, and very early Tampax
and fax.
I thank the donor!
