'You gotta get them up there girls!'

[DaanSaaf]

Aibu to hink this is the worst advert ever made?

Ffs think not hink, was rage typing

What’s it for?

It’s horrendous!

I actually had to check it was genuine when I first saw it, absolutely awful😑

It,s bad, but It,s tricky on one hand it,s good to be open and talk about these things on the other hand this is just a bad advert. It,s for Tampax for those asking.

Haven't seen this, but "up there" presumably refers to up one's vagina?

It's so cringe! On that subject though, can anyone recommend a good brand for women with weak pelvic floor muscles? I can't stand the ones with 'skirts' as found they feel horrible

Awful advert. I’m all for being open about periods but it makes me cringe every time I see it. ‘Get em up there’ referring to a vagina is just crass imo.

The girl they use has been specifically chosen to be a copy of Mel B. I think it's an awful advert.

Have just watched it - that is truly a vile advert!! Who the hell thought that was a good idea? They seriously need to sack whoever approved that!

But women on here all the time talk about “their girls” in reference to breasts.

Ladydoc. If you want disposable then I prefer lillets. (But tend to use cups and cloth these days.)

It is so patronising as well, I can't stand it.

@LadyDoc1 have you tried a mooncup?

That isn't even the correct angle for inserting a tampon ffs!!

It's even worse than the woman rollerblading in the skintight suit while walking her dog.

It's a touch "White men write Black women".

I'm a bit intimidated by a moon cup, and prefer applicator tampons due to a combination of bad back, previous nail related injuries and probably a significant amount by having experienced sexual violence and traumatic birth.
My periods seem to be on lockdown just now, anyone else experiencing that? One day of bleeding bit every 3 weeks, peculiar

I actually like this advert.

I started my period when I was 10. I hadn't quite yet reached that part of the curriculum where sex education covered periods. I didn't immediately recognise that I HAD started my period until my mum said "ah, it's probably that!" when I complained of tummy ache, back ache and the obvious blood.

I wish we'd have had adverts like this when I was growing up. Nobody teaches you about how tampons work other than on the instructions!

Is it also bizarre that I actually think the corniness works on this advert?! my only criticism is that one of the girls on the sofa literally doesn't speak. It just makes you wonder if she didn't make the edit or if she is just there for decorative purposes!

Either way, I like it.

It’s seriously cringe worthy.

We were watching tv the other night, watched this, then the one for erectile dysfunction came on, we were just waiting for the laxative ad next,,.
🤣

It’s doing what the ad people wanted, we’re talking about it!

I hate it.

It's a terrible advert but a the worst advert ever is a toss up between that ad and the tena one ' a little bit of wee isn't going to stop me being me'

Ughhh.... I say this of a mother of two using Tampax 25 years. It's just not a nice advert to watch.

Yeah I hate it

How many teenage boys are going to say to the girls, not just the tip but up to the grip regarding blow jobs?

But women on here all the time talk about “their girls” in reference to breasts.

On mumsnet? Have you got MN mixed up with somewhere else?

I absolutely cringe when l see it
