A page from the catalog of the
German company Thalysia, showing
douche and menstruation supplies, 1933
(page 1 - pages 2, 3, 4, 5)
Americans weren't the only ones to
douche - a practice
discouraged
today because it can harm the
vagina - as this German page of ads
attests.
(Read also an Australian
ad for douche apparatus in a banned
publication, about 1900. See an
American douche bulb in a book promoting
the practice authored by the
woman who might have sold the first
successful menstrual cup in the world,
a predecessor of the Keeper cup.
And see instructional material for an
American
company that sold douche
equipment and menstrual cups at Tupperware-like
parties in women's houses!)
