Ad for the early beltless menstrual pad New Freedom (1971, U.S.A.) See the page for the sanitary napkin itself and a discussion.   The woman is saying, "Whee! They're flushable!" Small words near her foot read, "Knickers and blouse by Robert Leader," a touch unfathomable to this male reader.   The slogan "FEMININITY TODAY" and the designation"FEMININE NAPKINS" seem designed to reduce the bad feelings conjured up by menstruation.
