The Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health

Sani-Scants, Kleinert's
Ad, 1950s?, black and white
Unknown magazine, U.S.A.

Is this an adperson's joke?

Kleinert's is selling special underpants to hold a menstrual pad to replace the mostly hated sanitary napkin belt, which often allows the pad to shift and exude socially unacceptable odor.

The dog next to the NO PARKING sign at bottom seems to be wearing something around its waist? OMG! Is it a belt - a sanitary napkin belt?! And is the leash snarled around the post impeding her and her boss's movement? Like, yes.

To the, er, cat. A soft, white, clean cat, a kitten. Her owner holds it above the dirty ground where the dog is twisted up and way above her waist, close to her head where her thinking is done. And where her nose is. (I like cats. Cats are historically associated with women's intimate areas. )

Cat="daintiness" (I hate that word) as well as Kleinert's excellent panties. Light and easy to carry (wear).

Dog=well, a dog's life down below.

My time in grad school puzzling out German literature was not completely wasted!

More mirror ads from this series.
More underpants & panties.
I thank the donor!

Below: The ad occupies the outer half of a 10 x 13 1/2" (25.4 x 34.3 cm) page
in the unknown magazine.
Below: Kitten exuding no odor, soft, purring. No, wait, Kleinert's Sani-Scants probably were soundless, a great advantage.
Below: You can see I did not add the belt. It might absorb secretions when the poodle is in heat but serves the ad's pupose.
