There is this Tampax commercial where the teacher calls the black girl up in front of the class because he thinks she is passing around a note and when she comes to his desk he sees it is a tampax and says is "is there enough to go around" and she says "for just us girls" and the whole class laughs.

The girl looks just like Eddie Murphy's oldest daughter Bria. Is it her or somebody else? I can't remember what his other kids look like, but I do remember Bria and Miles.

I don't have the answer but why do these companies, as well as the douche companies, choose the worst commercials to run.

They pay for the time on television and pay to make the lame commercials, are they really targeting females between the age of 13 and 45?

Tampons for the whole class? is that funny?

At least it's a step up from the 'walking on the beach' ones..


"Have you ever felt, you know.....not so fresh?"

I've never seen that one... thank God.

The one I hate is where the man and woman are on the boat and it springs a leak and she pulls out her trusty tampon and inserts it into the hole of the boat and saves the day.

feminine hygiene commercials are hell.

as for the woman in that commercial, i dunno who she is.

But I did hate the one where the girl drops her Pearl Tampax out the window at a party, then connects a whole other bunch of generic tampons together - plus the sticky part of a pad - and voila, she had her tampon back.

She was wearing white too, the horror.

I'm surprised she didn't pop a Mento's after she was done!

Natsume said:

Aren't they always wearing white? I think it's a law or something. Every woman appearing in a feminie hygeine commercial must be wearing white and/or a thong.

and they have to be on either a beach or at a party with a lotta people....

And why is the water they spill onto pads blue? Why can't it be purple or green? In fact, why isn't it just red? We all know what pads and tampons are for, and there is no use in trying to romanticize the idea. They sop up the dead uterine matter that leaks out of us. ew.

Natsume said:

exactly! i bet there's a little girl out there who looks at an always commercial and asks her mom, "is that what comes out of us, mom?!"

hell, you see guts n'gore on teevee all the time...what's a little red liquid on a pad as a demonstration of absorbency gonna do to anyone?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

That's it girls. We need to get on the phone to Madison Avenue, STAT! Tell 'em just what they're doing wrong!

Would it be better if I was to advertise it by just sitting on a stool and saying, 'Please buy Tampax'?

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I will never have a hard on again--thanks.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

would you be willing to dunk a tampon into some red-colored water in order to show how absorbent it is, too? look, it sucks up everything! you have to buy tampax!!!

Oddly enough... I think that the brand that I use doesn't even advertise on television. At least I don't think they do...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yes. I will try and make it more light-hearted by fumbling during the demonstration and spilling the red-coloured water. Clearly flustered by the subject matter in hand.

I love adverts for sanitary protection!








Nothing to see here folks, move along now.....

I use o.b. and haven't seen adverts for them since I got back to the US! Are they still on tv?

You probably have a collection of the little instruction/TSS warning pamphlet things they put in the boxes too, don't you?

Ewwww....

I KNEW IT!!!

For those who have seen the commercial. The main question was if that was Eddie's daughter Bria? It wasn't about the commericial itself. If anyone knows please tell me whether or not it is her.
