At least one tampon before Pursettes had a lubricated tip, Dale. Why weren't there more? Wouldn't the lubrication make it easier to insert the tampon into a somewhat dry vagina? A reader sends her explanation:
Pursettes often used such cartoons for its ads (here and here) but also all-word testimonials, some of which defy belief. Very large file so you can read the writing. |
Below: Pursettes crows that it can hold more "fluid" than the leading tampon (probably Tampax) a problem related to the toxic shock outbreak about six years later; Rely tampon was at the center of that. I wonder if Pursettes had a problem with toxic shock. And, wow, record players are so last millennium! |
