Tampons as menstrual guards, article (1945) by Dr. Robert Dickinson, at the Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health (original) (raw)

See the roughly contemporary Cashay and Dale tampons, and very early Tampax and fax. See a shorter version of the report published in Consumer Reports, in the September 1945 issue. It is less technical than the JAMA original, although approved by Dickinson. CONTRIBUTE to Humor, Words and expressions about menstruation and Would you stop menstruating if you could?

Dickinson discusses how much menstrual discharge women lose, the structure of the vulva, vagina, uterus, the disadvantages of sanitary napkins, and how tampons perform.
