See the roughly contemporary Cashay and Dale tampons, and
very early Tampax
and fax.
See a shorter
version of the report published in
Consumer Reports, in the September 1945
issue. It is less technical than the JAMA
original, although approved by Dickinson.

"Tampons as menstrual guards"
("The Dickinson Report," 1945)
Read about this here.
Dickinson discusses how much
menstrual discharge women lose,
the structure of the vulva,
vagina, uterus, the disadvantages of
sanitary napkins, and how tampons perform.
See an American douche
apparatus
(about 1929) with much reading material
that accompanied it.
A Dutchman kindly donated this report
to MUM.
