Tampax menstrual tampon instructions
included in each box, 1936, U.S.A.
Women could buy tampons
without applicators in America
before Tampax appeared. Tampax
developed and sold the first
applicator tampon in 1936 - a stroke
of genius - and it was probably much
more successful than earlier
tampons.
The instructions are printed in a
dark blue.
Tambrands gave
this museum a dealer's case of these
tampons; the instructions below and
all the 1936 items come from a fantastic gift.
