Ad for Carefree pantiliner (Slip-Einlagen), probably Mädchen magazine (1981, Dr. Carl Hahn GmbH, Germany) See the first ad for an introduction. My translation: [Headline] Many girls still have irregular periods. Carefree Pantiliners protects against surprises. [Smaller text] It's not at all rare that young girls have irregular periods. It can be a surprise. It can also go missing for a while. Gradually a rhythm appears. After a few years the hormones have adjusted to each other and the period is regular. But for a long time it will be influenced by diets, moving to a new home, and sickness, which can change everything. But young girls can easily protect themselves against surprises: with Carefree Pantiliners. Because they are extremely thin and soft they're comfortable. An extra wide adhesive strip keeps it securely in the panties; they won't move or get out of shape. The absorbent material and moisture-proof underside prevent wetness from leaking through and let you feel fresh and well groomed. Every day. [Big words at bottom] Carefree Pantiliners. The hygienic panty protection for every day. The ad measures 8 x 10 5/8" (20.5 x 27.1 cm). NEXT: Carefree ad #3, Carefree ad #1 - see a later German Carefree ad - an American Carefree ad - an ad for Carefree tampons - See San-Nap-Pak sanitary napkin ads from 1932 and 1945 and Ads for teenagers. See the roughly contemporary Dale tampon, and very early Tampax and fax. See German and Dutch booklets for pubescent girls. © 2007 Harry Finley.
