Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and preceded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"

"Eight," the boy replied.

The man continued, "do you know what these are used for?"

The boy replied, "not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that

if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."

This made me laugh - I remember the adverts from way back when!

Talking about Tampons / Tampax

I am a fairly good antique dealer, I have found and old used tampon

but I am struggling to find out what period it came from.

Any clues ?
