A Lady Talks about Tampons
The fdeal Internal Protection. Fibs, the Kotex
Tampon, with new exclusive features, is more comfortable, more secure, easier to use. Kotex products merit your confidence.
BUT MOW ARE FIBS BETTER?
ONLY FfBS ARE "QU/ITED"
Special "Quilting" keeps Fibs from expanding abnormally in use-prevents risk of particles of cotton adhering-increases comfort and lessens possibility of injury to delicate tissues. The rounded top makes Fibs easy to insert, so no artificial method of insertion is necessary!
This Surgical Cellucotton (not cotton) absorbs far more quickly than surgical cotton, that's why hospitals use it. Yet Fibs cost only 25c for a full dozen. Mail coupon with 10c for trial supply today.
