Always Changing Puberty
& menstruation information for girls, 1995, Always menstrual pads, Procter
& Gamble, U.S.A.
Complete booklet
It's hard to get more different from the first puberty booklets than
this one from Always. Booklets probably started their change from the text-intensive early ones with Kotex's As
One Girl to Another in the 1940s, in some ways the most charming of
all pictorially.
The early booklets didn't picture girls who weren't white. Starting
maybe in the 1960s at least one company, Modess, included girls
of color on the cover - the times they were achangin'. This Always booklet
of intense color includes several skin colors and races.
