The Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health "Educational Material on Menstruation furnished by the makers of Tampax" (1966) U.S.A. "Problems of Menstruation" and "Swimming and Exercise During Menstruation" This kit in a folder contains studies and more technical material than in teacher's kits like the 1968 Modess kit and others in the museum (complete list, also of booklets). Starting probably in the late 1940s, companies like Modess, Kotex, Pursettes, Tampax made, and sometimes still make, kits for schools, enabling teachers to use the material to explain menstruation and puberty to American girls - today, sometimes also to boys - and let the captive audience see their products, hoping they will use them for life; they often did. Sometimes the companies also supplied films, such as the famous one from Walt Disney. I thank a Texan for this great Christmas present!
