Lil-lets menstrual tampons, 1978-77?
She magazine, U.K.
Lil-lets, like Lotus and most early American and all European tampons,
had no insertion device (the tubes with Tampax and Playtex, for example).
Manufacturers, ever anxious to serve their customers, developed smaller
or larger tampons as those needs arose.
But Tampax very early on in tampon history made various
sizes, the smallest being "junior."
Thanks to the donor from the Uniter Kingdom for the scan!
