Tampax ad promoting use with thongs (February 1994) Tampax is famous for promoting freedom from inconvenience; read the humor page for how that tampon can help people ride bicycles and swim, even if they aren't women. Pads, an informant who should know tells me, are not very attractive to use with thongs, and the Scandinavian company SCA developed a tapering panty pad for them in 1999. This British Tampax advertising is bolder than the usual American ads in showing how Tampax made things easier.
