See a 3-D
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).

Potpourri of tampon and menstrual towel
(pad)
ads from the United Kingdom
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.)

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.
