Ad for the Kotex menstrual napkins Not a shadow of a doubt campaign (U.S.A., 1949, Parade magazine, a Sunday newspaper supplement)

Kotex ran many ads for its Not a shadow of a doubt ad campaign, expressing a favorite theme: concealment of menstruation. At least one other Kotex campaign had this theme: the Phantom Kotex series from the 1930s.

The woman's shadow is a clever addition.

I thank the kind donor of this scan!

Below: A rarity: the artist - Ron Wicks? - signed the illustration, whose signature
I enlarged below the large ad. The most famous signed Kotex ads are probably
those by Irving Nurick.
Tubbings is an interesting reference to washing the belt in a wash tub.
