And, of course, the first Tampax AND - special
for you! - the American fax tampon,
from the early 1930s, which also came in bags.
See a Modess True or
False? ad in The American Girl magazine,
January 1947, and actress Carol
Lynley in "How Shall I Tell My Daughter"
booklet ad (1955) - Modess
. . . . because ads (many dates).

Stores displayed this cardboard ad
in the 1930s for the Wix menstrual
tampon. Tampax tampons, which \took
over the company, seems to have also
absorbed - ha, ha - some of the
advertising copy, which emphasized the
lack of pads, pins and belts, but
other early tampons did the same
thing. It was a breakthrough for
women.
