Tampax menstrual tampon, with box,
from its first year in its first
successful (although not first)
company, 1936, U.S.A.
The lowest item in the top picture
is the complete tampon in its
cellophane wrapper. Above it are the
two cardboard components of the
tampon.
Tambrands,
the former maker of Tampax, gave
this museum a dealer's case of
these tampons, part of a fantastic gift.
See
the enclosed instructions - a dealers' advisory - advice to dealers
about explaining the tampon to
customers

The upper part of the lower image
shows a side of the box. The fuzziness
of the image is the fault of the
operator of the scanner, the MUM
director - me. Cellophane wraps the
box and tampon.
