And, of course, the first Tampax AND - special
for you! - the American fax tampon,
from the early 1930s, which also came in bags.

False? ad in The American Girl magazine,

Folder, The
Fascinating Story of Wix
(later version)
Wix menstrual tampons, 1930s? U.S.A.
Tambrands, the former maker of
Tampax menstrual tampons, donated this
later version of The Fascinating
Story of Wix to MUM. (It's
also in the carton
of small boxes of Wix.)
In it, the company claims to have
created the
first commercial tampon.
Unfortunately, the folder, printed in
dark blue
(see the color),
is
not dated. Below are the back and front
pages. See the interior
pages. See an earlier version.
The dimensions as shown are 5 1/4 x 5
1/4" (13.2 x 13.2 cm). It folds in
half vertically.
