Tampons and Maxi Pads: A Walk Down Memory Lane
Whether you call it your Moon Time or the Curse, if you're a woman, you have to contend with a monthly period. Let's take a look at how advertising sold its pads and 'pons to women of yore. Whether it was through distraction (hey, look, a pretty dress!) or through the rhetoric of freedom, advertisers did their best to sell a product women have never really been thrilled to buy.

My best friend and I call it the feminine menace.
1I thought this was great! Makes me remember how it use to be years ago. I mean I never did, but my mother wore the belt to hold it in place. Talk about nostolgic. I've got to pass this on to her. Got to love advertising. Of course, they didn't have to push hard to sell it, women needed it!
2haha , cool !
3These are great. I remember a box of "New Freedom" pads being in my Grandmother's bathroom. My mom had to wear belted pads when she was young, so I have to pass this along to her, just like NewMoodScents.
I love the old advertisements. They are fab.
4I call it "None of the Above" baby! I had those bothersome bits and pieces taken out about 7 years ago. Best decision I ever made. I highly recommend it. : )
