Tassette rubber
menstrual cup (catamenial receptor)
prospectus,
instructions, promotional leaflets for women,
doctors & medical
community (1950s-1960s,
U.S.A.) (tentative
history of this cup,
pictures & sketchy
history of American
menstrual cups)
"a fresh point of
view" (undated
leaflet with the same title as
some following pamphlets)
I thank the
former Tambrands, maker of Tampax tampons, for contributing this
material!

Below: A
reduced view of the two sides of a leaflet
of glossy paper folded into four panels.
It measures as shown 15 1/2 x 3 7/8" (35.5 x
9.7 cm).
See the readable
view below.

Below: The underlines come
from someone with a ruler and blue
ball-point pen,
probably at Tambrands, the donor.
Not only does "fresh"
mean new, it
repeats a word sometimes seen in
menstrual and douche
& odor-killing advertising that
means "doesn't smell
and/or stain underpants."
