MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH

Kleinert's protective briefs, panties
Ads with mirrors, 1960s, U.S.A.


Introduction.

I thank the donor of the scans!
Below: The mirrors seem to emphasize the appearance of the briefs, their invisibility, rather than any ability to hold a pad.
Below: The text at the bottom of the ad.
Below: Two ads to fill magazine columns.
Again, the mirrors fix the idea of appearance.
