Instructions
(2) for fastening &
disposing of Kotex pads with
advertising (1920s,
U.S.A.)
Sheet #1
Women probably found these
sheets in boxes of Kotex.
See an American
booklet (1928) and a page
from a Spanish-language
booklet with the
same disposal drawings, both from
Kotex.
And see the similar method
for fastening the 1941 Modess
pads.
See many menstrual
pad belts
and photos of
how they were worn in a Dutch ad
and a Swedish
ad.
I thank the donor!

Nurse Ellen
Buckland - see the order
blank - lived!
I had my doubts for years.
But see a suspiciously
similar name, also a nurse,
same era, different country: Thekla Buckeley
See and
read the proffered
booklet Personal
Hygiene for Women by Dr.
Williamson.
