An alert reader has just clued us into yet another maxipad video, this one a clip from a 1968 instructional film called "It's Wonderful Being A Girl!". Two questions and one comment. Question one: Why did actresses working in the years before, say, 1970 talk in that weird cadence? Did they teach that at drama school? Question two: Isn't this girl a little young to be getting her period already? Lastly, we would just like to say thank god women don't have to wear belted maxipads anymore. Or even, you know, menstruate!
