See a roughly contemporary pad, Society,
and a "silent purchase" ad for Modess,
1928.
Other Modess ads: 1931,"Modess . . . . because" ads, the French
Modess, and the German "Freedom" (Kimberly-Clark)
for teens.

The perfect menstrual pad 2a (1 2 2a 3
4 4a 5):
The pad
- Instructions and advertising material inside box - the box
A post-report ad for a Modess menstrual pad showing some of Dr. Gilbreth's
recommendations
"Report of Gilbreth, Inc.," to
Johnson & Johnson Company, 1 January 1927, about how to
improve the company's menstrual products, especially with regard to competition
with Kotex pads
The undated ad - and I don't know the source - looks as if it
advertises a pad somewhat according to Dr. Gilbreth's recommendations.

The copy of the report that I read, which might be unique, rests
in the special collections of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana,
U.S.A. Dr. Gilbreth was the first woman engineering professor at Purdue.
