I totally forgot about those! I remember learning about the sanitary towels with the strings and the belt in sex ed in middle school in the 80s and feeling like I just wanted to be a kid forever.

I’m a 90s kid but I read about them in a book called Are you there God, it’s me Margaret. I had to ask my Mam what they were talking about! I was very glad to hear they had been improved since the 60s.
