And, of course, the first Tampax AND - special
for you! - the American fax tampon,
from the early 1930s, which also came in bags.
See a Modess True or False? ad in The American
Girl magazine, January 1947, and actress Carol Lynley
in "How Shall I Tell My Daughter" booklet ad (1955) - Modess . . . . because ads (many dates).

Stores displayed this cardboard ad in the 1930s for the Wix menstrual
tampon. Tampax tampons, which \took over the company, seems to have also
absorbed - ha, ha - some of the advertising copy, which emphasized the lack
of pads, pins and belts, but other early tampons did the same thing. It
was a breakthrough for women.
