"Tampax tampons invites you to meet 1969's
beautiful sales force"
Advertising campaign folder for Tampax menstrual tampons
(aimed at dealers?), 1969, U.S.A.
16 new ads for magazines

These ads I think are among the most beautiful made for any product - and that's apart from the models. They're just well designed. That applies to most of the ads in these Tampax campaign folders.

But, yes, the models are nice to ponder (and they too are well designed). See more famous women in menstruation advertising, including Cheryl Tiegs.

As with the 1963, 1964, 1966, 1967 & 1968 folders, I believe Tampax made this folder of its new ads for dealers and business associates. Certainly other companies did the same thing (see links under the text).

This group of ads exudes, like the other ad campaign folders, the feeling of class and can-do attitude, the latter being one of the advantages promoted for tampons from the beginning. The classiness is sportier than the decades-long Modess campaign of few words and of women in evening dress. The Modess dresses (I believe) are from haute couture (or thereabouts) companies; the Tampax clothing seems to come from middle-brow designers accessible to everybody although more so upper-middle class. Modess failed; Tampax lives.

I thank Tambrands, the former maker of Tampax, for generously donating this folder!

BELOW: The 4 pages of the folder (small versions): front; 2 interior, one with pocket for 16 loose glossy ad pages; and the back.
Click on the ads or the links to see them enlarged or just click the NEXT under the last picture.
The closed folder measures 10.6 x 13" (26.9 x 33 cm).
The folder paper is heavy.
 FRONT (enlarge) of folder.
See BELOW.
INTERIOR (enlarge left, right sides) 2 pages. The RIGHT-HAND page has a slot (RED ARROW) in the blue pocket at bottom (empty here; see the ad pages) to allow the legs of the model on the top ad to show through to the cover. The ads you see are printed onto the folder itself but the 16 glossy ads sit in the blue pocket.
The blue silhouette on the LEFT-HAND page is actually a hole that allows the model on the facing page (a glossy ad on this page) to show through to the cover.
See
BELOW.
 BACK cover (enlarge)
 
 
Below: Recognize the model in the center? She's on the cover peeking through a
die-cut hole from her home on a loose glossy ad in the blue pocket. The box (ARROW) cut allows her
feet to show through. See this ad here.
 
An envelope similar to this one holds the folder.
