Dr White's ad agencies made some of the most inventive ads for menstrual hygiene I've ever seen, including the one below. They deal with similes difficult for "Puritan" countries, like America, such as comparing penises to tampons (see it).The two pages of the large ad faced each other, as below. The pictures at left, below, should appear three-dimensional even on a computer screen, if you have the two colors, each over the indicated eye. |

Text: "DR. WHITE'S SHAPES" Text: "ORDINARY TOWEL" Left page (faces the one at right), which I broke into two parts to make the download faster; it's printed to appear in three dimensions when seen with the glasses (right page, at top). It works, even now, on the computer; take my word for it. |
Right page. See a bigger view here. Note the moons in each corner, symbols of menstruation and Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt, virgins and the moon. The cardboard-frame glasses stick to the page. |
See an enlargement of
the right-hand page. of this ad.
See another
two-page Dr White's ad, showing the
advantage of rounded-tip tampons, also with
moons -
and penises - and funny. And here's a contest to make
an ad for Dr White's pads.
