Instructions (2) for fastening & disposing
of Kotex pads with advertising (1920s, U.S.A.)
Kotex, sanitary napkin, menstrual pad, period, cycle, menstruation, belt,
toilet, odor
Sheet #1
Women probably found these sheets in boxes of Kotex.
See an American booklet (1928) and a page
from a Spanish-language booklet with the
same disposal drawings, both from Kotex.
And see the similar method for fastening
the 1941 Modess pads.
See many menstrual pad belts
and photos of
how they were worn in a Dutch ad and a Swedish ad.
I thank the donor!
