Kotex sanitary napkin ad, 1949
This advertisement for Kotex pads,
from March 1949, could be an ad for
clothing, for all its innocence. It's
typical of the realistic, well-done
illustration of the day, and of the
concealment of the product.
Menstruation is not mentioned. See a
Kotex ad
for teens in the same year.
