Kotex

Now, ladies, don't get uptight. This is an innocent memory. Kotex was a mystery to young boys growing up in the 50s. We didn't know what they were or what they looked like. All we knew was that they came in odd shaped boxes in strange colors. The colors, I learned later, signified the thickness and size. They were big, but very light. So light, that when I finally was able to put my arms around the case, it was the first case I could lift when I worked at my dad's grocery store. And there were little belts that were used with them. I didn't know what they were used for, but I noticed they were only bought by women. Very mysterious! While in junior high, it was a big deal for the boys to sneak into the girls locker room and see the Kotex machine. That did us no good since we didn't know what they were used for. But, it was a rite of passage for a junior high boy to see the machine.

I can tell you a story that will really make you laugh. My daughter's father who has been deceased since 1993 told me a story I could not believe. When he was growing up, he and his best friend Jerry played together most everyday. Since they both loved boxing and pretened to be famous boxers alot they decided they needed a ring. They found their moms sanitary napkins and some way tied them all together and formed their boxing ring!!!!! When their moms found out they were in trouble for sure!!!! I laughed so hard when he told me this story.

Ayoung boy in my neighborhood owned a horse who injured his leg. the boy used the napkins to cover the scratches and rode his horse to the drug store in the middle of our small town inspite of his minor wounds. I wonder if he ever lived it down.
Blessings
