Kotex box and menstrual pad, 1966
(U.S.A.)
Directions
Introduction.
I thank the donor!

Below:
The glossy sheet of page, printed on
both sides,
makes two pages when folded in half,
which was again folded when found in the
box.
The sheet as shown measures 7
1/2 x 6" (19 x 15.2 cm).
"Dainty"
was a favorite word in American
menstrual products advertising,
maybe to offset the revulsion many women
felt toward their periods.

Below: "Kimlon," in the
bottom of the right-hand column, won a
trademark at the end of the 1950s.

END.
