Scandinavian ads showing menstrual panty pads in underpants (Dates unknown) As I've said before, ads from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland can be much bolder than anything from America. But so can Italy. See another Saba ad. (Saba once ran a profile of me in its company magazine - alongside astronaut Sally Ride!) See a Saba ad showing an exercising woman (bottom of the page). A Swedish contributor generously sent scans of the ads below. The contributor scanned and sent only the right half of the top two ads.     See mannequins with a traditional belt and pad and a modern one. See Dutch ads for Stayfree panty pads showing women wearing belts, 1972, 1973. And see an American belt from 1945 © 2007 Harry Finley.
