It's not just TLC or HGT, it's every channel at any given time of the day.
For the sake of argument I'm not naive and am aware that women menstruate and have different needs.
But I don't need an ad asking me if I ever feel unclean or an itch I can't scratch. "Price check on vagisil. Someone's got a bun in the oven and I think it's sourdough."
Nor do I need to be told about how the wings on this pad are better then brand x so my menstrual juice doesn't leak in my pants. Or how easily this tampon slides into your bleeding vagina and is meant to soak up even the heaviest flows.
I also don't need to see a stream of piss hitting a home pregnancy test.
The Bob ads are in poor taste as well.
I mean I don't know exactly how big the tampon and maxi pad industry is, but they don't need to be advertising as much as they do. Women don't just change brands willy nilly. It's like trying to convert a camel smoker to a marlboro.
And condom commercials are fine because some people need to be reminded to wrap it up.
