Menarche and puberty booklets by Modess menstrual napkins
and tampons
Personal Products Company, which made Modess menstrual sanitary pads,
also published booklets explaining menstruation and puberty for girls and
their parents (mothers), as did other companies, such as Kimberly-Clark
(Kotex) and Tampax tampons.
See the ad the teenage Carol
Lynley, later an actress, made for these booklets, and see other
ads for menarche-education booklets: Marjorie May's Twelfth Birthday (Kotex, 1933), Tampax tampons (1970, with Susan Dey) and German o.b. tampons (lower ad, 1981).
Below are some booklets at MUM for mothers (not shown in correct relative
size). See also Personal Digest
and Growing up and liking it from the same
company, and Lynn Peril's article about such
booklets.
