Modern Screen (Jan-Nov 1956)

the smartest girls use it ! Here's how to single out the Tampax user: First, she's intelligent. She realizes that internal sanitary protection is a far more sensible way of handling "problem days." It prevents odor. It eliminates chafing. It's easy to carry, insert, change and dispose of. It does all the things you wished sanitary protection would do! . . . Secondly, the Tampax user is poised. She's conscious of her clothes, her carriage, her grooming. She particularly likes Tampax because it's "invisible" when in place; she doesn't like belts, pins or pads. She feels strongly that the Tampax way is the nicer way, the more modern way, the most desirable way. When millions of smart girls do use Tampax, why shouldn't you? It's sold at drug or notion counters in your choice of 3 absorbencies : Regular, Super, Junior. Get it this very month! 4 Tampax Incorporated, Palmer, Mass. Want the real truth?
