The Pad Pioneer: Beatrice Davidson Kenner
Not too long ago, before today's high-tech period pads, there were “sanitary belts.” And they used pins to keep pads in place! They were, quite literally, a huge pain. But in the 1930s, a teenage girl from Washington, DC, figured out how to use adhesives instead of pins...the first step in getting us the stick-on pads we have now. She even got the attention of some really big companies...including an offer for a manufacturing deal. So how come we didn’t see this new technology until almost three decades later? On this episode, the story of Beatrice Davidson Kenner, the pad pioneer. A Sony Music Entertainment and Somethin' Else production.
