As One
Girl to Another (puberty &
menstruation booklet from
Kotex sanitary napkins, 1940, U.S.A.)
See the first
page for a general discussion of the
booklet.
See an ad offering this
free booklet! And see a tin of Quest powder (and an
ad for it). Kotex, on page 10,
recommended sprinkling the
powder on pads to stop the odor.
(Read
what causes the odor of
menstruation.) The booklet
mentions Fibs tampon, the Kotex
tampon, developed in the 1930s,
on page 16. Fibs had no
applicator, unlike its main
competitor, the two-tube Tampax
(read and see the first
Tampax?).
