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.
A Dutchman kindly donated this report
to MUM.
I
added the three arrows and accompanying
text to clarify what most people
have never seen,
a belt holding a menstrual pad.

this time" and
