Kotex doesn't show! Ad for Kotex menstrual
pads, 1955 (U.S.A.)
To tell you the truth, I don't think the woman's pad would show in this
dress even if it were a couple feet long as it would have been in the 1920s.
In two similar but older ads (1927
& 1932 ) there
was a slightly greater chance of showing, it seems to me, but not the danger
that a dress on a dancing girl presented here.
Details of the ad appear below.
See a Kotex pad from the 1960s.
See two other Kotex ads regarding clothes: 1927 & 1932 and another shadow-of-a-doubt ad, from 1952.

What are these guys laughing at? "Leaping lizards! I can see her
Kotex from here!" - most women's nightmare. The same fellas might be
in another shadow ad, 1952.
Below: I think by identifying the designer
of the dress Kotex thought it was elevating the tone of the ad. Kotex used
expensive-looking dresses in other ads, for 1927
and 1932. I assume that $13 was not especially
expensive at the time, at least not in the stratoshere of the two aforementioned
ones. See a Kotex belt here.
