The lame excuses, the you run-alongs and count-me-out's are as dated as the flapper dress. Today's smart girls never let time-of-the-month interfere with their holidays. They rely on Tampax internal sanitary protection.

You know, of course, that you can go swimming while wearing Tampax. But you don't have to, if you don't feel like it! The main advantage of Tampax is that it's com- pletely invisible under either a wet or a Ary bathing suit. You can simply sit on the beach, and no one will guess your

secret.

Tampax has many other advantages to keep you feeling secure. It prevents odour from forming. It never chafes or irritates. It's easy to dispose of. In fact, in every way, it's nicer and daintier. Get your choice of two absorbencles (Regular or Super) at any chemists.
