Ad for Amira menstrual tampon (the Netherlands, August 1979 in the magazine "Mensen" [People])
Right-hand page
Blue liquid

First page of the ad and discussion.

I thank again the kind Dutchman who sent these scans as well as many other items!



Below: The right-hand page of the two-page ad. The left side.
Amira soaks up the familiar blue liquid - Heaven forbid that it would be red! - and you see it can't leak.
Blue has been a favorite on menstrual packaging since before Dr. Gilbreth's discussion of it in her report to Johnson & Johnson.
