Tampax | 1963

Vintage ad for Tampax, 1963

This Tampax ad appeared in the German magazine Praline in 1963, headlined “Choose the more pleasant solution”.

Contrary to what many think, the tampon is not such a recent product: it was invented in the early 1930s by the American doctor Earle Haas.

The copy promised freedom on holiday, at sport and at work, and spoke of the “millions of women” who had already made the switch.
