Would you wear a radio-active corset?

Thank you Wheniwasyourage that’s very kind ? - I just decided to be a bit less involved & stay off the contentious threads!
I saw this in Shrewsbury Museum &Art Gallery yesterday & it made me think firstly what women put themselves through (wearing corsets) and secondly that we’re fortunate that (hopefully) things are now rigorously tested before being used in materials or foods.

Might give you back your get-up-and-go, if you'd lost it. Maybe not for long though...

janeainsworth, I haven't seen you posting for a while, (although perhaps I have been on the wrong threads), so it's nice to see your name again!

Radium was in a lot of other products too.
People would have been glowing

It was added to a wide range of commercial products including: wool for babies, water dispensers, chocolate, soda water, male supports, foundation garments, condoms, toothpaste, suppositories, cigarettes, cleaning products, boot polish, fertilisers, luminous paints and cosmetics. All of these commercial applications had a common theme; that the rays given off by radium had a ‘vitalising’ effect on the human body.
