New Tampax advert...

[ScottyDottyDooDah]

Has anyone seen it? (You'll know if you have!)

As a professional marketeer, I can only assume that their marketing team are on meth.

I dont even have the fucking words...

(Apologies if there's already a thread)

Oh my word. What were they thinking???

I saw this for the 1st and only time yesterday with 15 year old DS. We just looked at each other in stunned silence. Although it was not as bad as the advert for lube that always seems to come on when I'm watching tv with 13 year old ds. Hes so embarrassed by the mere thought of vaginal dryness

I’ve always said that to people who say they can’t use tampax anyway .. “push it up higher and you won’t feel it”

That’s not necessarily true anyway, because the string can rub and be uncomfortable.

Well !!!! I never knew that. How interesting.

Me and Dp sat agog while this came on in the middle of BGT last night. Fortunately pur 14yo DD was plugged in to her phone. She would have been mortified and we are extremely open about this sort of thing.

Disgusting

Maybe it's my profession (related to womens health) but I definitely don't feel all pearl clutchy over a tampon ad. Or did I miss something obvious?

Just because we don’t like it, it doesn’t automatically mean that we’re Pearl clutchy or embarrassed. There've been plenty of reasons on this thread - not least teenage boys copying this to embarrass girls.

Destroyer

You must have a tighter fanny than anyone I know if you can feel the string

Oof. That's bad

Oh my goodness - seriously? That's awful

I was watching TV with my teenage sons when this came on and I thought what the fuck. Already that night I had watched an advert about vaginal dryness and then bladder weakness and now this advert. Who the fuck wants to be a women! What about some adverts on erectile disfunction, saggy balls and bladder weakness for men. Or do they not suffer?

Wow, just wow

What the fuck!?

“Not just the tip, up to the grip”

A man wrote that. 100%.

It’s an obscene play on oral sex too. Just crude and yes teenage boys will be saying it to girls.

Yup terrible... Ranks with Jenny Éclair banging on about her vaginal dryness!!! 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯

It's awful. Please complain to Advertising Standards.

You must have a tighter fanny than anyone I know if you can feel the string

Really?

Why must women's genitals always be turned into a slur or an insult?

My husband was telling me about this advert. It sounded so ridiculous I said don't be silly dear you must have been dreaming

Then I saw it...bloody hell

What about some adverts on erectile disfunction, saggy balls and bladder weakness for men. Or do they not suffer?

There already are adverts about two out of the three of those. Don’t worry, men aren’t losing out 🙄

It’s got as all talking about it, so the advertisers must know a thing or two!

I absolutely hate it. It is memorable though and we are talking about it so maybe it has worked....

I can feel the string, and it can be irritating, so I actually cut them off (cut it really short) as short as possible.

I can guarantee that if schools were open this is all shitty little teenage boys would be saying to embarrass girls. It’s so cringy!
