Just seen an advert for a big brand of tampon, and I'm gonna go ahead and lay out my complaint, your honour!
*The plastic applicator of the big brand is environmentally horriffic and the people who flush them down the toilet need an educational top-up (So many on beaches)
*They aren't that easy to get in
*Once in they feel poky-poky
*I'm never truly at ease with one in. Can never really relaaaax.
*They aren't that easy to get out without putting your leg on the toilet, which particularly in a public toilet and you have shoes on, is foul.
*When I sneeze they poke me in the vagina
*Any hint of dryness and they actually hurt
*You pull one out and realise there's no toilet paper left and want to die.
*I absolutely cannot ride a bike in one. No way. Noooooo way. Poky poky poke-poke.
*The advert with the lady with the string hanging down. Are they trying to normalise hangy string? Is that normal? I would NEVER think badly if I saw a hangy string in real life, just like I would never think badly if I saw you with your skirt tucked in your pants (I'd tell you about your skirt. Less so a string). But I'd die of shame if I found I had a hangy string. Hence I don't wear short shirts without tights and don't allow camera men to upskirt me.
Then again, I don't really find sanitary towels particularly delicious. Would ride a bike in one though.
:-D
Disclaimer: if you are fine with tampons, peace man. I am too, just the french kind, because tampon is french for rubber stamp hee hee. And tampon. Inexplicably.
