Dr White's ad, an ad contest for Dr
White's and wearing Dr White's with a thong. And a penis-tampon ad
(they finally yielded to the temptation).

Dr[.] White's
(date? publication?)
British advertising for
menstrual products can be very
funny. An official from the
company that made Tampax visited
the museum when it was in my house
and mentioned that it would soon
make more amusing ads - and it did
just that.
But the ads on the following
pages, if hot hilarious (see the list at left for
those), sometimes give a different
slant on the topic. Enjoy!
I thank
very much the contributor from
the U.K.!
See another
two-page Dr White's ad, with
moons yet, and showing its
advantage with thongs..
And here's a contest
to make an ad for Dr White's pads.
(See a non-menstrual funny ad
on the back of a Dr White's ad,
just to see how much humor there
is in some British
publications.)

Below: Using a bus
to show "coming
back" is brilliant, made
more so by the woman's backward
gaze.
See another "coming
back" ad.
Date and publication unknown.
