Sanpax(d?) menstrual tampons, Switzerland? Israel? 1969-1970
Instructions
Main discussion.
Tambrands kindly donated the box as part of a large
gift from its archives.

Below: One side of the enclosed paper instructions,
which folds into three pages.
"Sanpax" lacks the overprinted D found on the box.

The center page, below, is the page the
viewer first sees when pulling the folder from the box - except for the
calendar, which serves as the back page.
Look at the marks (in pencil?) in the lower left corner.
I wonder if it's related to the marks on the paper bundles. Maybe both served
in the development process.
Can anybody translate the Hebrew?

Below: The comparable drawing from the
Primella instruction sheet of the year before.
I flipped it so you can compare it easier. Below it, the Primella
tampon drawing.
So, what does this prove? ONLY, ladies, that the
worldwide socio-economic conspiracy -
um, wait a second, that's my other Web site. Well, it might indicate
that the same
(unknown or does it say in Hebrew?) company made both. Was it Tampax?
