Two ads for Fibs, 1935 and 1939,
the first successful Kotex
menstrual tampon
Fibs appeared just shortly after
Tampax.
Read about the short life and death
of this tampon.
See the actual tampon. 1935-59
ads for Fibs.
A genealogy researcher kindly
sent the scans, some of many of
tampons from newspapers. She
wants to remain anonymous.
