(19,460 posts)Now stop making fun of the way we ratted our hair in the 60's. Do you know how painful it was to roll your hair on empty frozen orange juice cans, sleep on them and in the morning get that perfect flip? Not to mention how long it took to rat the hair up high like that then spray it down so the wind wouldn't blow it out. Sheesh! You youngsters!

(116,003 posts)Hair had to be a single solid mass with no loose strands.
I will never forget the trauma of sleeping on rollers - I didn't use juice cans. For you whippersnappers, these rollers were hollow, made of a kind of mesh over a metal frame with a brush inside. The brush was stiff and it poked your scalp. You'd wash your hair, then put the rollers in while the hair was still damp, and anchor them with bobby pins. Then you'd tie a scarf over the whole lumpy mess and try to sleep on it.
So when you got up in the morning you'd have to unroll your hair, spray it until it turned into an impenetrable helmet, put on your Kotex and belt if needed (no tampons or maxi-pads in those days), then your waist-high granny panties, then your girdle with attached garters, then your nylons, then your slip, then your clothes - no jeans or slacks if you were going to school. And then you spent another 10 minutes on your makeup - blue eyeshadow and pale pink lipstick.
Yes, those were the good ol' days.

(4,104 posts)The big lumpy Kotex and the belt was the worst. And who could ever forget the days before creme rinse was invented. The first on the market was Tame Creme Rinse. Before that, you had to fight the snarls before you put in the brush rollers. I had very wavy hair, and had to tape down my bang to get them to dry straight. As a 12 year old, I can't tell you how much I cried over my hair.

(1,412 posts)Article written by Dr. Robert L. Dickinson and originally published in the Journal of the American Medical Association: 1945 Some early concerns.....
The wearing of pads "is responsible for rhythmic play of pressure against surfaces uniquely alert to erotic feeling."10 This last concern was probably brought up in reaction to certain religious and moral critiques of tampons which claimed that women would be sexually stimulated by the wearing of tampons.
Girls just want to have fun, yea, yea, yea!

(34,140 posts)Honest - I was told that. Problem was my first period started while on a trip on a Sunday in Yazoo City, Mississippi in 1964. Not a store open anywhere in a hundred miles, probably not one open in the entire state. The only protection anyone in the family had were Mom's tampons. But she fretted about me "losing my virginity".
The worst thing was when I got home and had to use the belts and pads. Those were disgusting. Those old pads were about as absorbent as a shingle and about as comfortable.
