Ad for Kotex stick tampon, July 1972, U.S.A., Seventeen magazine
Kimberly-Clark

This ad rivals the famous Modess . . . because series not in elegance but in beauty - hey, I'm a guy and portrait painter. But it's just one in a series of its own. There were other ad series for this kind of tampon.

See the tampon itself.

This was not the only tampon-on-a-stick: the Japanese created at least one more-elaborate version designed like its origami sister to forestall brain shrinkage not least by offering the user an opportunity to invent new curse words. Maybe the courteous Japanese screamed them to themselves.

The ad page measures 9 7/8 x 12" (25.1 x 30.5 cm) when magazines were the size nature intended (this page has been trimmed on the left side). The oil crisis that came soon afterwards reduced the pages to what we know today.

The Kotex staff was apparently not depressed during the Great Depression.
