The Saturday Evening Post, September 15 1956, p. 74

Not a very visually interesting ad, but get a load of this: TRAINED WOMEN! woohoo! that's even better than a trained monkey!

Tampax has been in existence more than 20 years. During that time, a staff of trained women has devoted itself to answering letters and inquiries, to talking to serious-minded groups (such as teachers) who want to find out more about internal sanitary protection. Out of all this has grown a clear picture of the alert woman who uses Tampax.

She’s apt to be a leader in trying new things. She’s determined to find the modern way, the right way, the best possible way. Naturally her friends follow her advice; they admire her and look up to her. Can’t you almost hear her telling them about Tampax?

"Tampax does away with the belt-pin-pad harness. With no constant reminders, you can just about forget problem days! Positively no chafing or possibility of odor forming. And Tampax is so comfortable! It can’t be felt when it’s in place. Even disposal is easy!"

I think there's a big difference between those and the rags. Also you get to do laundry kinda when you want, i'm sure, and they were still doing it by hand, so...yeah.

I've always hated pads that let you sit around *feeling* being all wet, though tampons are rather uncomfortable, too.

I want a once-a-month hut where people bring me food and i can just wander around naked and who cares!! Heh.

red tent all the way!
