Prior to the creation of disposable pads, most women used homemade cloth sanitary napkins held in place with a “sanitary belt” and pins. These could be sturdy and washable or as simple and disposable as folded cheesecloth. In this 1907 excerpt from the magazine Pictorial Review, a reader suggests reworking old blankets to create reusable “sanitary comforts”.

These early pads were not a successful consumer product. Their cost was prohibitive for many women and drugstores sold them from behind the counter, making purchasing napkins embarrassing. The shape and clear labeling on the box also made clear what women were buying.

Allen, November 6, 1917. United States Patent Office. Women used sanitary belts much like this one from the late 1800s into the 1970s. The belt fastened around the wearer’s waist with straps to keep the sanitary “bandage” or napkin in place. The belt and napkin were bulky. Inventors like J. C. Allen tried to streamline the design as modern dress became less voluminous and more fitted.

With less bulky clothing, sanitary aprons became a lucrative sideline of the feminine care industry. Women needed to keep blood from leaking napkins from staining their clothing, and the rubber-coated apron shielded their skirts. While sanitary aprons and other menstrual products were advertised as affordable, they could be too costly for poor women. Based on the prices in this ad from 1918, a travel kit like this, consisting of a sanitary apron, six sanitary napkins, and an elastic sanitary belt, cost 85 cents -- approximately $13 in today’s money.

Kotex promoted the first widely available disposable pads in magazine advertisements by associating them with nurses and war work. These pads were made of “cellucotton,” a synthetic material made from processed wood, similar to bandages used in hospitals. The cellucotton was more absorbent than cotton rags and could be thrown away after each use.

In this free booklet, the company demonstrates how to wear its pads and how to discard them in the toilet – by cutting them into pieces and flushing twice!. Kotex suggested that the new pads, when disposed of properly, would not clog the pipes, a discreet alternative to leaving them in the trash. Flushing pads appealed to women’s desires for convenience and secrecy but continued to have a bad effect on plumbing, despite Kotex claims.

The text of this ad echoes Progressive-era health reform, but the image of a well-dressed woman promotes a different message. It implies that Kotex Sanitary Napkins are the key to a lifestyle in which the wearer can look glamorous while menstruating. In fact, fashionable women were among the first to break with tradition, adopting disposable pads rather than reusable rag bandages. The ad frames public health concerns as a facet of modern, fashionable life.

Feminine hygiene Companies promoted their menstrual products through ads like this when modernity was the height of glamour. This one shows a daughter with her “old-fashioned” mother and implies that the daughter is teaching her mother how to be “modern” by adopting the new disposable products, inverting the traditional chain of knowledge about menstruation. The ad suggests that women could unlock the fun, fashionable, and attractive modern world by effectively managing menstruation with Modess.https://disposableamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/screen-shot-2017-05-08-at-7-12-23-pm1.pngScreen Shot 2017-05-08 at 7.12.23 PMhttps://disposableamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/screen-shot-2017-05-08-at-7-12-40-pm1.pngScreen Shot 2017-05-08 at 7.12.40 PM2017-06-19T01:42:02+00:00weekly0.6https://disposableamerica.org/learn-something-new/books-about-disposability/https://disposableamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/da_cup.jpgDA_CupHot beverage cup and lid, manufacturer unknown.

Put out of the laundry business by celluloid, Chinese-American immigrants return to their homeland. The racist caption reads: "No more washee washee—'Melican man wear celluloid collar and cuff." Meanwhile, American men demonstrate celluloid's waterproof qualities. They represent the new, athletic masculinity that began to erase class distinctions in clothing in the early 20th century.

Members of the troupe are pictured in and out of blackface, making clear that they were respectable gentlemen offstage. In reality, minstrels often fell short of that distinction. A property manager at one theater recalled that his men, being "lazy fellows," often wore their paper collars out onto the street.https://disposableamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-5-e1449763863120.png2.5Trade card for Babbitts Best soap, used in the 1880s and 1890s.
