Kotex menstrual pad ad, October 1928
This advertisement shows the persistence of concern women have when
menstruating. We read the same concerns today.
It appeared just three months after Lee Miller unwittingly made the
first one for menstrual products to feature a
real person, also for Kotex; it might show the second
actual person to appear in a menstrual hygiene ad. The pose, in its
elegance, matches Miller's, who was photographed by the great American photographer
Edward Steichen. He could have also made this picture.
Long download time!
