Compad, a
single compressed menstrual pad with belt,
Sanitary Products Corp., U.S.A., after 1943
& before 1963
Many of my comments
about Delicate
and Pad-n-all,
similar single compressed pads
with belts from about the same
time, apply
to Compad, which I take
means compressed
pad.
Women must have hated these but
I guess preferred them to using an
old sock or
toilet paper in
emergencies.
The postal
zone system - that number
after the city in the address -
started in 1943 and ended in 1963,
so this pad dates from that era.
See a
British pad in a tube, Lilia (1930s?) and ads for
earlier American pads in tubes in a Tourist
Set, a package of menstrual
supplies for the traveling
woman.
The Procter & Gamble
Company kindly donated Compad to
MUM.
