Tampon Adverts.

These have troubled me for quite some time, for a couple of reasons.

Firstly... to the companies that disguise tampons in sort of sweetie wrappers. That's great. But surely the reason you do it, is so that boys don't know what they are if they peek in your bag? This doesn't work if you then plaster the fact that your tampons are in disguise all over the telly. With images.

Secondly...as a girl, if you drop your handbag and a hundred tampons fall out, a handsome boy never, EVER helps pick them up and falls in love with you over your feminine hygiene products.  What actually happens, is that he sees what you've dropped, realises that you're probably "on" (because he's seen the adverts, so the clever disguise hasn't worked), and freaks the fuck out because he expects a full-on PMT fuelled tantrum. Probably.
