To the manufacturers of feminine hygiene products: a rant (TMI!)

Posted by: neebelung on: July 3, 2008

Sometimes I just don’t know what the marketing departments for the manufacturers of feminine hygiene products are thinking!!  I mean, really, who thinks of this shit?

1) To the makers of Always… WTF is up with all this “Have a happy period” shit? Seriously? HAPPY period? How about I’m happy once it’s OVER… but during? I’m fine. Not unhappy, but also not happy about it… I’m just “there.” Some days are better than others… but there’s really nothing about my period itself that’s inherently HAPPY, so lay down the crack pipe, people!!

and…

2) To the makers of Playtex ’sport’ tampons…. What’s with the “fortune tampons?” Who came up with the brilliant idea of putting little psuedo-motivational sayings on my tampons?? Who REALLY wants to pull one out of their purse, and take a moment to ponder things like “Keep going!”, “Go for it!”, “Get out there and show them what you’ve got!” or (my personal favorite) “Practice makes perfect!” (Um, hello, I’m 36… I don’t think I need to practice my tampon usage skills)….

{end rant}

*ahem*  Ok, I feel better now, having gotten that off my chest….
