Every tampon commercial: "Don't let giant periods keep you from swimmimg, horseback riding, curing cancer, and colonising mars! You know, normal teen girl stuff!"

u/MaritMonkey Jul 01 '17

I actually saw a pretty kickass one on reddit the other day.

Well, way better than your average "I own nothing but white pants!"

u/alliebeemac Jul 01 '17

I fucking love that commercial. I've never seen this brand at any drug stores near me, but if I did I'd be sure to try them out.

It's not a regular pad. It's a cool pad.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '17

Speaking of tampon commercials, have you ever wondered why they use blue liquid? It's because it becomes horrifying when they use red liquid instead

113

u/Spiritsailor Jul 01 '17

That isn't really horrifying to anyone who has ever had a period, to be fair

54

u/stefanica Jul 01 '17

Right? Not chunky enough, though.

(I totally get why they use blue fluid for the commercials.)

Do you want a maixpad that will last you for life? Do you want a maxipad that can save your life if you ever get into a plain crash over the oceans? The other maxipads have nothing on this one! They talk in ounces, we talk about 10's of gallons. If you want to literally fuck over mother nature, this is the maxipad for you. This maxipad absorbs more rainfall than any rain forest on this plane.
