MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH
Rating American menstrual pads and tampons for absorption in 1949 (Consumer
Reports, selections)
Page 1
The influential and valuable American magazine
Consumer Reports helped women pick menstrual pads and tampons as far as
absorbency was concerned in this 1949 issue. For comfort, often a problem
with menstrual products, it advised women to try different products; comfort
was hard to put in numbers since it would vary from women to woman and maybe
period to period - or hour to hour.
And Macy's and Bloomingdale's department stores
had their own brands (see the last page)!
I thank Tambrands, the former maker of Tampax
tampons, for giving me this photocopy!
