Moderne
Women, early tampon for
menstruation, cellulose in cotton
gauze, early 1930s?
The Sealtex
Company, Chicago, Illinois,
U.S.A.
I thank Procter & Gamble
for donating this box!

Peeling further reveals that part
of the gauze was sandwiched
between the layers of the
cellulose, which probably made its
grip much tighter when the woman
pulled it from her vagina.
