Although there is still a portion of the world that doesn't like to think about menstruation, the fact is that we icky girls bleed on a regular basis. In the US, aAdvertisements for feminine products, as they are known, traditionally fall into two categories: the ones that show you how much blue fluid a diaper-like pad can soak up (so you won't bleed through your pants and embarrass yourself), and the ones that convince you that you won't feel like you are wearing a diaper, because then boys won't like your bulky ass. Other countries, of course, have gotten a bit more comfortable with the concept of female nether regions being less than pristine at all times, and are even able to find some humor in the monthlies. Here are some of the best ads (from here and abroad) for pads and tampons.

France, of course

Swimming with the sharks! It’s not just a metaphor!

Clapping Kitties

Not a real ad. Funny just the same.

Sporty

This one avoids the whole “embarrasment factor”, and you’ll notice that there are no boys in it.

We really should return to this kind of advertising

Nothing says “vadge under control” like a button-down shirt under a sweater.

 

Wow

Vaginas are dirty! Can you believe that Lysol used to make douches? True story. No greasy after effects, apparently.

Tampire Tampons

For the Twilight fangirl in you? Maybe?

I was watching TV last night with my friend, roommate, and her bf. We were talking non-stop and all the sudden there was a tiny break in convo. Right at the commercial with a tampon showing a present in it? The present=period?? Umm I don’t think so! Definitely worst tampon commercial ever.

I am still haunted by memories of middle school. I reflexively despise cheerleaders, for instance. Actually, anyone who is sweet and peppy.
