Open your mind! Discover new and different ways to meet the problems of modern living! You will get a great satisfaction our of making your own decisions regardless of prevailing habits or customs. Take for instance the Tampax method of monthly sanitary protection. There is so much to be said for this revolutionary product and yet-well, perhaps you are still hanging back.

 Here are some things you should know. Invented by a physician as an internal absorbent for use on "those days" by women generally. Made of high-absorbent cotton compressed in slender, one-time-use applicators. Tampax lets you dispense with belts, pins, external pads. No outside bulk whatever, no ridges or bulges under dresses. No odor or chafing; easy disposal. 

Your hands need not touch the Tampax (remember there's the applicator) and when it is in place you cannot feel it. Wear in tub or shower or while swimming. At drug or notion counters in 3 absorbencies: Regular, Super, Junior. Month's average supply slips into purse. Tampax Incorporated, Palmer, Mass.
