On girly stuff...

Something has been bothering me for the past few days - I have no idea why but occasionally my mind grasps one of the million thoughts that runs through my head per second and holds onto it until I satisfy my curiosity. So this question, I ask you - does advertising really influence your choice of tampon

De jour all the way. I don't even look at other brands...

I find the advertising highly amusing if nothing else. I can just imagine the 14 year old girls thinking "Oh my god! How cute are those shiny packets. I. Must. Have. Them."

when i was studying semiotics we used to deconstruct tampon and sanitary pad advertisements - those days it was all about "shhh" and "whisper", like having your period was some terrible, dirty secret.... now it's all about snake bites and disco balls ;)

packaging doesn't really influence my choice of tampon - some of the packets in my drawer do have various designs on them but that's not why i picked them.... i think i have some carefree and libra ones in there. because i'm on the pill it makes my menstruation really light so i barely use tampons these days and i think the packaging of my pads/liners is just boring old blue

as for my random thought of the week, aside from "gross out comedies" why don't you ever see anyone fart in movies? and to keeep it on the menstruation theme, why don't girls ever get cramps, or suffer the annoyance of menstruating on some romantic weekend away with a hot guy????
