Sta-Pacs menstrual tampons
(1930s? Sta-Pacs or Stapacs Company, U.S.A.)
Procter & Gamble kindly donated the box and contents as part
of a gift of scores of menstrual products.

Below: A 'pon right out of the box; none
had a wrapper (see comments about this). From
the tip of the fuzz at left to the end of the tube, far left, it measures
5 3/16" (13.2 cm). I don't see any effects of
oxidation like yellowing.

Below: The upper (outer) tube measures
2.25" long and 5/8" (6.9 x 1.7 cm) in diameter; the inner tube
2.75 x 11/16" (7.5 x 1.5 cm). Both have shiny exteriors.
The tampon plug (business end) measures 2.25 x 5/8" (5.5 x 1.5 cm),
the string 4 7/8" (about 12.1 cm).

Below: The string
attaches to the plug almost like the probably contemporary Fibs
and B-ettes tampons.
