Does this look dodgy?

Lush are apparently having a 'festival soon.. and so there's lots of advertising for it.

All I can see of this visual is a used period pad... it's a bath filled with red bath stuff but I can't see it!

Well....dodgy in a sense that you're disturbed by it but really, why do you care? It's not like you've not seen such a thing as a pad with blood on it before.

hugomcwooferton · 12/08/2017 12:17

No I just meant all I can see is a the shape of a used pad and found it funny that they clearly didn't check the visuals before it went live. I'm not embarrassed by it at all but it's literally all I can see!

Oh dearie me! Grin They might have picked another colour for the bath stuff - purple, green, even orange would be better than that red!

WingsofNylon · 12/08/2017 12:21

When the image is tiny I see it but once big it is very clearly a bath. Still a diffrent colour would have been better.

I'm with you OP. Even if you know it's supposed to be a bath full of red stuff, it's still not attractive. And it definitely looks like a used sanitary towel at first glance, even given the fact that most women don't bleed in such a precise way.

Can't stand Lush's horrible smelly stuff anyway.

Rossigigi · 12/08/2017 12:36

Grin def a different colour would have been better!

SecretLifeOfSam · 12/08/2017 12:41

I thought the same when I saw it!!

That's got to be intentional 😂😂😂

Nearly10to9 · 12/08/2017 12:44

If it was blue it would look JUST like the adverts for sanpro

hugomcwooferton · 12/08/2017 12:46

Haha! I'm SO glad it's not just me!!

I suspect a man is behind this Grin

RedStripeLassi · 12/08/2017 12:50

Grin definite jam rag territory!

ForagingForFaerieGold · 12/08/2017 12:55

Yellow might have been worse. (Tena lady Shock)

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/08/2017 13:02

That's all I can see too! Grin

Sparklingbrook · 12/08/2017 13:10

Yes I can see a used towel or looking closer a bath where a murder may have been committed.

But the thought of a Lush festival gives me a migraine.

BikeRunSki · 12/08/2017 13:14

Unfortunate image.

FerretsAreFeminists · 12/08/2017 13:14

I actually thought it was a used sanitary pad when I first looked at it and I thought to myself "wtf are you doing Lush?" Blush It took a few seconds for it to click that it was a bathtub.

HipsterHunter · 12/08/2017 13:15

100% used pad

hugomcwooferton · 12/08/2017 13:24

Grin bad times! It looks like a giant always advert. I can just imagine the smell from that festival though! The street smells outside lush!

Itsnotwhatitseems · 12/08/2017 13:26

that's exactly what I thought when I opened this thread, just thought "Why is op showing us her used sanitary product"

Itsnotwhatitseems · 12/08/2017 13:27

tbh, its got people talking and a post on MN so maybe intentional :)

Wonder what the gender balance of the marketing team was...
