One for the ladies!
Dear Kotex,
I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of "Kotex Tips for Life" on it. Annoying advice such as: - Staying active during your period can relieve cramps. - Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches. - Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh. - Try Kotex's other available products, blah, blah, blah. Obviously the person behind this was someone who has never possessed a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a menstruating woman TO HER FACE that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh. See what happens and report back. I'll wait. While you're at it, dump out all the coffee at work and remove the chocolate from the vending machine. I guarantee that the first responders will be females who just ovulated. Look, females don't need or want tips for living on feminine hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap like that from their elderly relatives. Veteran females have already concocted their own recipes for survival, many containing alcohol. Printing out shitty advice while sneaking in ads for the brand THAT WAS ALREADY PURCHASED, is just plain annoying, not to mention rude, and enough to send a girl running to the 'Always' brand. Mostly we'd like to forget that we even need these products. It's not a fun time, so do not assume you can try to cheer us up by adding smiley faces or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or the packaging. Put your product in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it in our grocery carts discreetly and have it blend in among the cereal and cookie boxes! There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink package announcing your uterine state to everyone in the store. The ultimate goal of your product should be functional invisibility at every stage, including at the point of purchase. So take your tips for living actively while menstruating and shove them right up you're a$$! Try drinking six to eight glasses of water to make you feel fresher while you're doing it! Ovarily Yours, Miss PMS |

I think they ought to be made to wear mammoth bits of folded up rags in their y-fronts once a month.........hang about...most of 'em probably do....but not once a month :p |
Re: One for the ladies!
Has anyone seen the ones (can't remember the brand) that has little 'did you know' facts on them? Did you know that a duck has three eyelids and that there are two golfballs on the moon? well, I wouldn't either were it not for the information superhighway that is sanitary pads :p

She wants kicking, severely :D |
