THE NEW FEATURES OF THE KOTEX PAD
THE KOTEX LABORATORY has developed an improved type of moisture-resistant materia)... made specially for Korex sanitary napkins. And a protective panel of this material is now placed between the soft folds of every Kotex pad! ... So remember this new Kotex feature-all you who believe in "Safety Fin"! Remember, too, all the other advantages Kotex has
to offer...
Many a time--you'll be thankful Kotex doesn't make "tellinde out. Jines"! Just, compare the flat, pressed cods (pricated by Korex) - with the thick, stubby ends of other 'napkins! It's easy to see why Kotex never makes embarrassing bulges...
FEEL ITS NEW SOFTNESS
PROVE ITS NEW SAFETY
COMPARE ITS NEW,
FLATTER ENDS
Easy to see why it's so comfort able, 100! Kotex is made in soft folds (with more absorbent, mate- rial where needed... less in the non-effective portions of the pad). Naturally, Korex is less bulky than pads with loose, wadded fillers! And the soft cotton under the game makes it less apt to chafe!
Kotex comes in 3 sizes, too! Super-Regular-Junior, Kotex is the only popular-priced napkin that offers you a choice of 3 different sizes! (So you may vary the sink pad according to each day's needs!)! All 3 sizes have soft, folded centers flat, tapered ends... and moisture-resistant "safety. panels". All 3 sizes sell for the same low price!
