MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH Pursettes tampons ad, Seventeen magazine, May 1974 Pursettes had a lubricated tip like Dale tampon from probably a couple decades before. But the ads exphasized its size, helped because it had no applicator. Almost all tampons in the early decades after tampons appeared in the 1930s had no applicator, Tampax being the famous exception but there were others. I thank the donor!
