MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH Kotams first Kotex stick menstrual tampons (Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Kotex menstrual pads, panties, belts, educational booklets), 1960-65, U.S.A. Instructions First page. Kotex's second stick tampons (U.S.A.) & its ads, 1960s to 1970s - Comfortube tampons (1967), box, tampons - the very early Kotex Moderne Woman, fax, Nunap, & Fibs, all 1930s. "Remember how simple life used to be?" ads for the second stick tampon. - a Japanese stick tampon from the 1970s. Early commercial tampons - Rely tampon - Meds tampon (Modess) The first Tampax Tampon directory. I thank the former Tambrands for donating the box! Below: The instruction sheet (folded twice vertically, very inelegant as the fold runs through text and drawings) measures 8 1/4 x 5 1/2" (21 x 14 cm). "Kotams have no bulky cardboard applicator!": That, of course, was the genius of Tampax. Second-to-last paragraph: "miracle fibers that absorb faster, more thoroughly." Using different non-cotton fibers, Rely tampon later caused many deaths and injured women from toxic shock syndrome. I wonder if Kotams caused any injuries. The ladies at right look like clip art from the era. Below: Item #3: The contemporary tampon Pursettes DID have a lubricated tip.
