MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH

Sanisept menstrual napkin ad, Finland, 1980-1990s
magazine unknown

As in the Saba ad, this one focuses on the body area in question; the French Polivia pictures most of the woman, mostly nude, and avoids showing maybe the most important feature promoted in the ad text: the size of the napkin and its invisibility under a light dress, which the ad text promotes. Modesty creates glamour.

The contributor - thanks! - did not give the date of the ad or the magazine.

End: Swedish Saba ad, French Polivia ad - French Modess ad (1970s). See nuts-and-bolts Dutch (with menstrual pad belt) and Swedish ads. Pad directory, tampon directory
