Actress Brenda Vaccaro and Playtex menstrual tampons

Brenda Vaccaro, an American actress, made this ad in 1981 for Playtex tampons (magazine unknown). Like Cathy Rigby, she was already well known, making this a bold move.

The tampons she's talking about in the headline are undoubtedly Tampax, first sold in 1936.
