Reddit reviews Radium Girls

I actually saw a play, aptly titled Radium Girls, which is all about this.

Perhaps we will see a comeback for some of the products below?

10 Radioactive Products That People Actually Used lists the following products that used radium:

• Tho-Radia Face Cream
  
• Radium Watch Dials (Young women painters of the dials used to point their brushes by licking the bristles, a practice that resulted in severe radium ingestion, eventually causing facial bone disintegration and other dental problems.)
  
• The Scrotal Radiendocrinator
  
• Radium Chocolate
  
• Radium Suppositories
  
• Radium Toothpaste
  
  The Scrotal Radioendocrinator was invented by William Bailey who created the radium water Radithor.
  
  >The inventor of this fabulous product was one William J. Bailey, who claimed to regularly use his own products, and to have drunk more radium water than any other living man.
  
  Bailey's consumption of his own product eventually killed him. He died of cancer of the bladder in 1949.
  
  For women, there was the radioactive face cream, Tho-Radia. The company marketing the product producly proclaimed "Each and every ‘Radior’ Toilet Requisite contains a definite qualtity of Actual Radium."
  
  Sadly for the young female watch painters who worked for the Radium Dial Company, their exposure to radium when they used it to paint watches, clocks, and other instrument dials to make them luminescent, so that people could read them in the dark, had a quite deleterious effect on their health.
  There have been a number of books written about what happened to those young women. They had been told it was safe, but many of them died quite horribly, because of their close contact with the radium. Some of the books about them include Radium Girls: Women and Industrial Health Reform, 1910-1935,
  Deadly Glow: The Radium Dial Worker Tragedy,
  Radium Girls,
  and The Radium Watch Dial Painters. There are a number of others as well.
