How shall I tell my daughter?
Puberty booklet about girls for their mothers (Personal Products Company, 1968, U.S.A.)
Explains menstruation, adolescence, tampons, girls' growth, menstrual pads, & it promotes
Modess menstrual
napkins
, Meds tampons, Vee-Form, Panty-Kini, sanitary napkin belts, special panties, sanitary brief, underwear

Except for the revised few pages at the end, this booklet is almost identical to the 1963 edition.

I suspect the same artist who illustrated this illustrated Strictly Feminine (1969), also from Personal Products.

The paintings are very atmospheric and show only white, middle-class girls and their (white) mothers. Other ethnic groups would come later.

Below: Back & front covers; each cover & page of the paper booklet measures 4 5/8 x 6 3/8" (11.6 x 16 cm).
