That's so good. I love their pads as not scented but I've just swapped to reusable!

EsmesRedPetticoat · 03/07/2020 11:40

It is very powerful. I cried too!

Livpool · 03/07/2020 11:39

Amazing!

No roller blading or hot pants in sight

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 03/07/2020 11:38

That is bloody brilliant! (No pun intended)

Shedbuilder · 03/07/2020 11:38

Wow. That really is mould-breaking. A sanpro advert that isn't all about running through fields of corn or skateboarding in white shorts.

Totally womb-focussed. Quite the biology lesson. And lesbians and lesbians trying for a baby.

The worm appears to have turned.

It made me cry!

theseriousmoonlight · 03/07/2020 11:35

I cried a bit too. But I'm very hormonal and there is definitely something in my eye.

I've just watched it there, I love it! The floodgates when sneezing bit made me laugh, Grinso relatable. So sad when the 'garden' is all bareSad. Amazing ad!

donnerundblitzen · 03/07/2020 11:34

Wow Shock
I might have sniffled a bit too WinkGrin

ShiveringCoyote · 03/07/2020 11:34

That's a powerful piece of film.

AngelSins · 03/07/2020 11:33

Oh god, I just cried at an advert!

That shows it in full and I've watched and listened.

It's good!

Wombstories.

'Who made you?'

Wow.

It's certainly thought provoking.

Aurora20 · 03/07/2020 11:27

I might have cried 🥰

OvaHere · 03/07/2020 11:27

I can't get the actual video to load. Is it good?

The comments seem positive re it tackling the range and difficulties of female experience.

I hope so because Bodyform is my preferred SP outside of reusables.

I haven't seen it but looking at the link, it makes a change to see 'red' instead of 'blue'. It appears to be realistic but I expect some people will find it yucky if they are squeamish about blood. It doesn't bother me one way or the other but I have yet it see it 'properly on TV.
