That day is here again . . . (World War II menstruation booklet from Kotex sanitary napkins, 1944, U.S.A.) Read a discussion. I thank the Dutch contributor of many items to this site for these scans!

The illustration at right shows pads that dwarf the small pads available today.   Next page | covers & inside front cover pp. 1-4 5-8 9-12 13-16 17-20 21-24 Marjorie May's Twelfth Birthday (1935) - Facts About Menstruation that every Woman should know (1936) - Marjorie May, introductory page, 1935 main page Enter your search terms Submit search form   Web www.mum.org Copyright 2007 Harry Finley
