Tampax is just trying to do some advertisment for there products no harm in that.

If you do'nt like the commerical change channels for that 30 seconds. =)

I can think of a lot more nasty commercials than tampon commercials. I mean, what about "Summers Eve" or "Vagisil"? Compared to this, tampon commercials are weak sauce.

tampons rock dude! I remember we used to play around with them. got a whole box, a big bucket of water, dropped them in (after removing the applicator) and started chucking them on walls and ceilings! if you haven't done this.... go ask a friend for one and try it. tons of fun! the OB ones are funny as hell... really small but expand. hahahahahaha (those damn fun teenage years) *sigh* ;)

[edit]
why are ppl so grossed out by this? its just some blood coming out. add'l 1ub3? ;) gets kinda messy tho ahahahhaha

Yeah, but they serve a purpose.

What do they say at the end? "If you feel disgusted... so do we,"?

I do.
Its kind of unsettling watching a hot chick telling her hot friend how slim and comfortable tampax ultraslim tampons are..........paints an ugly picture if you know what I mean.

Did you know that these essential products are taxed, but food is not? What's up with that?

When my sister gave me her old car, she left a wrapped tampon in the glove compartment. I think it's a good idea for me to keep one of those around. You never know when a chick's going to need one.

You guys are too funny. I'll never understand why periods are such a touchy subject with you all. Frankly, me and my female roommates are cracking up right now at what wusses you all are being. ;)

The subject doesn't bother me at all. It's just there commericals one after the other that I find so damn annoying. I hardly see any condom commericals but if they where on as often as tampon commericals I would say the same about them.

Razor commericals annoye me to but not as much as tampon commericals since they are on only about 1/8th of the time.

I can handle tampon comercials. I really wish yeast infection and herpes meds weren't advertised though.

<< Who else thinks tampax commercials should be banned?

Personnally the annoye they hell out of me.

Edit: By tampax I mean all the companys I just reffer them to that.

I think you would be even nore annoyed if women stopped wearing tampax. I think those "let the dance begin" commercials are pretty funny. I wonder how much they have to pay some guy to do a viagra commercial?
