Maxi Pads
Although the military dubbed them “sanitary napkins”, Maxi Pads as we know them have come a long way since and have changed the way women around the world cope with their monthly menstrual cycles. In 1920, a pioneer called Kimberly Clark launched Kotex Maxi pads with leftover stock bought directly from the military. This stock had initially been planned to be used elsewhere, but the project did not end up panning out. That one decision led to a historical moment for the women’s movement.
