Why?  Is it some sort of superstition or something?
Has anyone heard of this? |

When your penis starts bleeding for a week every month, then you can tell us where we can and cannot go on our periods. Until then, STFU.
You can take a bath and swim with a tampon in. I'd be a little nervous in the ocean though...I'm already scared of sharks, don't need to be putting out the call for them.

Ok back to the original thread. |
I thought that was the best pregnancy test ad ever!

This thread reminds me of the episode of the Cosby Show where Rudy gets her period for the first time and her friends fill her head with myths.

My grandmother would say if you washed your hair during that your hair would never grow again and you would catch pnemonia (sp?).

I swear that commercial was made with the intent to market that particular brand to men. How many times does the woman make the man buy the pregnancy test? Pretty frequently, if we're talking about a committed relationship. Or it's an attempt to empower women-- a lot like the new tampon ads that have been running to demonstrate that you can have an active life while on your period/don't have to be embarrased about it (like a lot of the newer deodorant ads are designed away from the norm-- which focused on eliminating embarrassing BO).

The only one of those commercials that bothers me is the Stayfree commercial where the woman is "interviewing" women in the maxipads aisle and she pours water on a pad and rubs her hand across it to show how quickly it absorbed the water...and THEN she blots the pad on her shirt (like, quickly, once on each shoulder)! That's really a gross mental image for me.

Here's what I never understood about men freaking out about buying "supplies" - obviously it isn't for YOU - obviously you have a WOMAN - so how is it embarassing? Far more embarassing for a woman to have to go to the only open check-out line, staffed by an 18 year old boy, and buy tampons or pads. Yikes.
