Growing Up and Liking It!, 1949, Modess puberty and menstruation booklet, U.S.A. Complete booklet See main discussion. Below: Pp. 24-27 Many women and girls have always worried that people would know what was in a menstrual pad box. The maker of Modess even commissioned the efficiency expert Dr. Lillian Gilbreth to figure out how better to conceal the shameful contents; read the many interesting results. Note that the wrapped box (often sold that way) "might contain . . . any one of a dozen glamorous purchases." What, Modess wasn't glamorous? Kotex mentions in a World War II booklet that women didn't have to worry about putting the pad on upside down; Modess wearers did (below, p. 25). See more menstrual pad belts ("sanitary belts").     NEXT | Front cover inside cover-p.3 4-7 8-11 12-15 16-19 20-23 24-27 28-29 || More Growing and Liking It! booklets | Just Between Us . . . 1950 edition (1961 edition, cover & several pages about menstrual belts and panties, Beltx) | Puberty booklets for girls and/or their parents and/or boys. | Lynn Peril's article about such booklets.
