Instructions from Tampax menstrual
tampons about what to tell customers,
1936, U.S.A.
Few women used tampons when Tampax
appeared, in 1936, and no previous
tampon had an applicator. The
manufacturer included a set of
instructions in each case of Tampax to
educate the dealers, who in turn could
explain the new "menstrual guard" to
the customers.
The sheet has six pages. The third
page on each side is below the first
two.
See similar instructions for the Wix tampon,
which is older than Tampax. Tampax
bought that company in the 1930s.

advantages of tampons over pads
Tambrands gave
this museum a dealer's case of these
tampons; the instructions below and
all the 1936 items come from a fantastic gift.
