Ok, you guys have all seen the tampax compact commercials right? well at first, when the product came out, they just showed the tampon itself, no problem, right? no one will ever know that its a tampon. now, they have started showing the wrapper, and how REALLY stupid people think its candy and sugar and whatever. (You couldn't mistake them anyways. I've bought them and you can feel the inside and know its not candy...) So, their slogan is "so discreet, no one will ever know it's a tampon." they are showing the wrappers for god's sake!!!! how can you not know its a tampon now?!! For a major company in the world, you'd think they'd take the time to think that one through.
Ahahahaha!!!! Haha, thats great... I don't think there much you can do about people who are that dumb to begin with.
Anyone see the commercial fer the scented "lady diapers"? I can't think of what they're called righ now, but why would you wanna ...I mean, what deranged mind came up with lady diapers that smell like stuff??
i've never been nearly as embarassed by that sort of thing as other people were. if someone tried to tease me because a tampon fell out of my purse, i'd just tell them "it's a freaking torpedo!" then smile and go to the bathroom. what's the point of dissembling? if a pad or tampon falls out of your purse, just put it back in. if you're not embarassed, they won't be.
I know! Now everyone knows about what compacts look like...haha. Really though, who cares there's no shame in carrying one around. It's just part of being a chick.
I think that tampon commercial is intended as a joke. They're made smaller so they take up less room.
Lol. I remember one time when I was about 12, this guy from my Hebrew School found one of those plastic things, you know, that are meant to insert the tampons (whatever the hell you call them), and had no idea what it was. So he was playing with it and the girls were just giggling and this poor boy had no idea why we were laughing at him until someone told him. Then he jumped and dropped it on the floor.
I've never really been embarrised about people seeing my tampons in my purse or at the store when I got them. I mean, I'm a 17 year old girl. It's not like people don't know that by my age, most girls get their periods, anyway. And I really don't care if they know when I get it, either. I mean, I'm not going to go up to strangers and say "Hi. I'm menstrating. How are you?" But I'm also not going to hide it. I'm not going to put tampons at the bottom of the shopping cart. just to hide them. If someone asks me if I'm feeling okay because of the way I'm acting or something, I'll tell them that I'm having my period. If it bothers them, they need to grow up a little.
I have seen an ad that's even worse than that. My mother and I CAN'T believe that this made it onto TV and nobody spoke up and said 'Eeeeeew'. Have you seen the commercials for a pill that say 'You can kiss your yeast infection goodbye.' ? Yuck! Um, no thanks. I'm not that flexible and even if I was..........YUCK! I am not even making this up.
hahahaha... that's harsh, levi. that commercial definitely should have been passed by a few more people before being run. lol
I'm not embarrassed, but I mean, their slogan is "so discreet, no one will know it's a tampon" so why are they showing you what it looks like if thats what they think will sell it, the whole not knowing its a tampon. i totally get what you girls are saying about how not to be embarrassed, and i'm comfortable with the whole thing, but its just bad advertising.
HAHAHA do they sell KY at stores? lol but yeah, i think it's stupid to pretend you're not on your period or hide tampons or something...i mean, it's natural, right? why be afraid of it? it doesn't bite... [but it sure as hell bleeds] lol
I think it's stupid to be so ashamed that you have to get compact tampons in the first place... I remember this one commercial a while back, these tampons that fit in your hands so you could leave your purse behind and whatnot... Dunno about you all, but my teachers almost always let you go if you have your purse with you...
