right....because gymnasts would wear huge honkin pads with their leotards? but this is certainly a better odor controller than douching with lysol!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! No, ad men! No! You cannot make the pretty gymnast appear to "foosh" the rest of her class with crotch odor. Who approved that? I mean, even back in the day...seriously? Wow. That's bad.

This avatar made me laugh as hard as the ad

[woodburner.livejournal.com]

That is exactly what I was thinking, omgWTF???

[thehappycat.livejournal.com]

It's OK. Her crotch is magically odorless, goddammit.

[snapes-mistress.livejournal.com]

I have never understood the need for scented pads or tampons... menstruation is odorless! It's when its combined with baby powder or fresia scented sanitary products that weird smells happen... WTF...

[a-wittyusername.livejournal.com]

*yours* may be odorless, but not everyone's is. (Not to say it's a *bad* smell, but it is a smell. It's worse with pads too.)

Pads, I get. But scented tampons are just a WTF...who on earth would want to put something slathered in perfume anywhere inside of them?

ETA: That sounded meaner than I meant it.

It's early, i just got sent home from work after being there an hour without clocking in, and I'm a bit grumpy-I didn't mean it to be mean. Just that some of us aren't lucky enough to be in the "unscented" category.

[woodburner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's very noticeable through clothes, but it's there for most women. Some women complain of very bad smells, too.

(But holy god yes. Perfume up your crotch? WHY WOULD YOU EVER)

[corridor7f.livejournal.com]

Well, it has odour if you don't change your pad every few hours - and that's even with the "scented" variety of (which are bad for the vagina anyway).

Old blood smells, it's just a matter of changing your sanitary product frequently. I can't imagine going back to pads after using tampons for over a decade, though.

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

No, I never used pads, but after using the DivaCup (http://www.divacup.com/) I'd never go back to using disposables.

[pink-porcupette.livejournal.com]

This. Vaginas don't need air fresheners, in my opinion. If someone can smell your crotch and their face isn't pressed into it, there's something wrong that scented pads/ sprays/ tampons isn't going to help.

[atheistkathleen.livejournal.com]

yeah pads and gymnastics do not mix

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

OH MAN....THAT POSE WITH THAT SLOGAN...

(head slap)

It's like "Put your nose right in there...Am I fresh or what?"

arrrggghhh.

[amelia-eve.livejournal.com]

Actually, I know some ice skaters who use a pad under their skimpy outfits to prevent wedgies.

"What are you little freaks staring at?"

[badmoods.livejournal.com]

i totally remember seeing that package in the bathroom as a small child. lol.

[chr1st1an.livejournal.com]

I remember seeing that ad and even as a young girl knowing it was complete BS. Also I always wondered why the lady on the box was wandering on the beach in a baby doll nightie and WTF that had to do with your period.

The 70's were a strange time for advertising.

[dredpirateleena.livejournal.com]

I like that it's endorsed. Does that signature say "Cathy Rigby"?

[misstia]

yes it is....

Hoo, girl. I see judges from many nations holding up their cards to give the odor level a score. "Strong in the technical scoring, and now let's see those daintiness numbers." But don't think twice, don't, don't...
