3 Modess menstrual pad ads,
1970-71, U.S.A.
What's Modess made of?
"She knows as much as you do about sanitary napkins"
| Modess ran several
ads with this very theme starting chronologically in
human age with a baby. You'll find veiled references in these ads to another pad, probably Kotex, Modess's competitor since Modess appeared in the mid 1920s in America. Modess, beaten, disappeared from the American market in the late 20th century I thank the donor! |
| Three ads discussing
what Modess is made of. (And the baby ad.) |
