The Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health Ad for Always Ultra menstrual pads, United Kingdom ca. 1990s-2000s Sugar magazine (print edition shut down in 2011 after the Web destroyed its circulation) Finally, after a Dutch version - and another Dutch version! -  Oh, wait! Here's another Dutch version! - we see an ad in the series in the language of the parent company, Procter & Gamble. How do you know it's the U.K. version, not the American version? The word brilliant in the text. That word jolted me when an English woman interviewing me by phone years ago kept saying it without the enthusiasm I normally associated with it and in unusual contexts. Can't the English correctly speak their own language? Oh, and of course the London Zoo is in, um, London. The stain you hadn't seen until just now - it's most obvious on the left side of the panties - came from water seeping through the wall of my basement, not from the tiger. I've since moved the vast majority of the museum archives to a dry place outside the house. Margot van Mulken kindly sent me this ad, one of scores, along with many photocopies, as part of her research for her article "De verpakking van maandverband: De ontwikkeling van retoriek in tijdschriftadvertenties" (The Packaging of of Menstrual Pads: The Development of Rhetoric in Magazine Advertising) in Tidschift voor Genderstudies (Journal of Gender Studies), 2005-1. See another one she sent me, from 1998. Below: The trimmed page measures 8 1/8 x 11" (20.6 x 27.9 cm) and has been trimmed further because of damage.
