Rating American menstrual
pads and tampons for absorption
in 1942
(Consumer Reports, selections)
Page 1 (2)
The
influential and valuable
American magazine Consumer
Reports helped women pick
menstrual pads and tampons as
far as absorbency was concerned
in this 1942 issue. For comfort,
often a problem with menstrual
products, it advised women to
try different products; comfort
was hard to put in numbers since
it would vary from women to
woman and maybe period to period
- or hour to hour.
