Hey, I think I saw that in an Avon catalogue a year or two ago. Same design and everything - but not packaged with Kotex, natch.

Ah, proof of "the belt". My mom tried to explain that thing to me once. I think I'll offer a moment of thanks to be living in the age of adhesive strips.

I've seen bracelets like that since, too, but they didn't have the interchangeable pearls. It's always possible for something cheap to get cheaper.-

Cool bracelet! I also remember The Belt. I much prefer the self adhesive pads.

I'd go for that bracelet!

Belts though? I'm so glad they went the way of suspenders. Women back then must have been so uncomfortable in all their undergarments.
