"TAMPAX The Champ in every way"
Promotional package for Tampax menstrual
tampons
(aimed at dealers?), 1963, U.S.A.
As with the 1964, folder, I
believe Tampax made this folder to
promote the tampon to dealers.
Certainly other companies did the
same thing (see links under the
text).
In a bout - get it? - of
overinterpretation, isn't the
boxer striking a pose that looks
just like a tampon? Her legs the
strings? No? Well, then look at a
better example: a human
pantiliner!
This group of ads shares the
expensive, white (in people and
clothing), and beautiful
characteristics of next year's
(1964) folder. It reminds me of
the decades-long Modess
campaign of few words and of
women in evening dress.
