Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1955)

Why are more and more business gills using Tampax?, NO BELTS NO PINS NO PADS NO ODOR Ask the company doctor or the staff nurse. They’re very apt to tell you that the Tampax user is much more likely to take "those days” in her stride. But the girls themselves are still most impressed by the freedom and assurance that doctor-invented Tampax gives. Here are some of the things they say: "I can’t be bothered with all that other rigmarole; Tampax is quick and easy to change.” ... "I must have protection that prevents odor.” . . . "No telltale bulges for me; not, of all places, in the office!” . . . "Tampax is so comfortable, I almost forget it’s 'time-of-the-month.’” Girls starting work often decide on Tampax because of admiration for some older, perfectly poised woman in the organization who uses it. From its daintiness of handling to its ease of disposability, Tampax seems made for the woman who has to be on the go all the time, who has to meet people with charm and assurance under any circumstances. The druggist or notion counter in your neighborhood carries Tampax in all three absorbencies: Regular, Super, Junior. Month’s supply goes into purse or tucks in the back of a drawer.
