This film, produced by Disney in 1946 and underwritten by Kotex, was shown in elementary schools into the sixties in the U.S. Listen to hear the wonders of becoming a woman and what that old lining does every month.
I’m not sure if this film was shown in England. Do tell, my friends across the sea. Did any of you see this movie or another movie about getting your period?
