Once upon a time, single girls couldn’t use tampons…

I often check this Vintage Ads blog for an occasional laugh.

Some of the ads are not only funny, they also capture such a stark contrast in societal values, that they’re shocking. Here’s one from a mere 40 years ago. Isn’t it interesting that an ad like this would never fly in a women’s magazine today?

That in itself is a social commentary all on it’s own.

Oh dear, I think you’re right in saying this would never fly today. The tampon for single girls?! This was obviously in the time when pre-marital sex wasn’t the norm.
