I wish my Daughter would --
I wish my Mother would --

menstrual pad ad for girls, May 1941, Kimberly-Clark Corp. (Kotex tampons and menstrual napkins, belts and underpants), Woman's Home Companion magazine

Irving Nurick's full page Kotex ads (below) changed into smaller comic book-like vignettes in World War II, popular enough to appear even beyond the man's death, in 1963.

Menstrually speaking, Mother vs. daughter in ads might have started with the funny Modess pads series Modernizing Mother 12 years earlier, which look ancient compared with the one below.

Unlike in many of these large ads, Kotex here didn't show us its famous blue that covered its boxes.

Read the booklet "As One Girl To Another," mentioned after the red P.S. And here's another edition dated two years later.

All pads 'n' ads on this site.
