Today we are used to briefs and bras draping the street. Rasurel seems the only underwear who came in the open long before the others. Or they used longer lasting paint (Valentine, who knows? Yes, we have Valentine in our Paint section).     Both panels target a different public and promote a different use of the Rasurel brand. The look- through nylon brief marvelled by the house-wife probably wouldn't be accepted for the atlete's Slip Well. Rasurel uses Rhovyl (see below).

Thiais (94, France); VI.1999; pict. A. Guët
It was in 1941 when the Rhodiaceta laboratories discovered a method to make PVC-fibers.
The group Rhône-Poulenc, in 1948, founded a company to commercialise the new chlorine fibers: Rhovyl
Visit the company's nice and informative website www.rhovyl.com for more information about their history and products (in both English and French).
    I generate static electricity. No brand today would see that as a plus. It's already difficult enough to keep today's office equipment running without.

This ad stems from ages back when electricity hasn't lost charm yet to become an everyday commodity. The message however shows modern sophistication: the text touches the irresistible gain without pain string. Skip your morning exercises: all you need for your atletic condition is apparel with Rhovyl.
