"The use
of Tampax [tampons] in menstrual
protection and in the treatment
of vaginal discharge," by
George Baba, M.D., "Presented
before the Obstetrical and
Gynecological conference on
February 21, 1946 in Chicago,
Illinois."
Read a famous study
from the same year and see the bulletins
Tampax published in the early
1950s to address many questions
the public had. See "Are Vaginal
Tampons Prejudicial to Health?"
(proof
for a British Tampax ad, 1952).
See actual
Tampax from right
