menstrual pad, probably from the
1920s-30s.
See a shorter

"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.
Run your mouse
over fig. 7 (left-hand illustration) to
see some of the tampons and pad shown.
A Dutchman kindly donated this report
to MUM.
