Sanpax(d?) menstrual tampons,
Switzerland? Israel? 1969-1970
Instructions
Main
discussion.
Tambrands kindly donated the
box as part of a large gift
from its archives.

Below:
One side of the enclosed paper
instructions, which folds into
three pages.
"Sanpax" lacks the overprinted D
found on the box.

The center page, below,
is the page the viewer
first sees when pulling
the folder from the box -
except for the calendar,
which serves as the back
page.
Look
at the marks (in
pencil?) in the lower
left corner. I
wonder if it's related to
the marks on the paper
bundles. Maybe both served
in the development
process.
Can
anybody
translate the Hebrew?

Below:
The comparable drawing from the Primella
instruction sheet of the year
before.
I flipped it so you can compare it
easier. Below it, the Primella tampon
drawing.
So, what
does this prove? ONLY, ladies,
that the worldwide
socio-economic conspiracy -
um, wait a second, that's my
other Web site. Well, it
might indicate that the same
(unknown or does it say in
Hebrew?) company made both. Was it
Tampax?
