The Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health

Nunap and fax: the first Kotex menstrual tampons? (early-to-mid 1930s, U.S.A.)
The instructions

Read the introduction.

The Procter & Gamble company generously donated the Nunap box to the museum as part of a larger gift; and a woman living near Chicago, who wanted to remain anonymous, gave the museum the fax box as well as many other early tampon items.

END
introduction, the tampons

Below: The Nunap instructions - front and back of a folded piece of paper, the next two pictures, below - say that Cellucotton, which Kotex was made of, comprise the tampon "body," today called the plug.

About 7 years previously Kotex put an address on an ad that was about 6 minutes away by car today from the location here. As a smattering of fact the addresses for Moderne Woman, Nunap and fax tampons are all within 9-15 minutes driving distance of each other - today, anyway. Kotex was in the air!

Above: I enlarged this side to allow reading of the text on the right.

Twenty-four hours is not how long a woman should wear a tampon today, and reflect the supposed lack of bad effects noticed by users and doctors.

Below are the fax instructions, printed on both sides of the two paper envelopes containing five tampons each in the box.

Below: The fax instructions, which are on both sides of the package. See their color in the lower-most picture. Item 6 reveals that the tampon is made of cellulose, which is what Cellucotton - the K-C creation for Kotex - was.

Look at the color of the text and bag, below, which age might have changed.
