Not sure if the guys will find this that
amusing but I found it flippin' funny!:wink:

Dear Kotex,

I recently noticed that the peel-off
strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of
"Kotex Tips for Life" on it.

Annoying advice such as:
Staying active during your period
can relieve cramps.

Avoiding caffeine may help reduce
cramps and headaches.

Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day
to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh.

Try Kotex blah blah blah other products.

Obviously the person behind this was
someone who has never possessed a
functioning pair of ovaries. Go ahead
and tell a menstruating woman TO
HER FACE that drinking 6-8 glasses
of water will help keep her feeling
fresh. See what happens and report
back. I'll wait here.

While you're at it, dump out the
coffee at work and remove the chocolate
from the vending machine. I guaran-damn-tee
that the first responders will be females
who just ovulated.

Look, females don't need or want tips
for living on feminine hygiene products.
Younger girls are already hearing "helpful"
crap like that from their elderly relatives.
Veteran females have already concocted
their own recipes for survival, most
containing alcohol.

Mostly we'd like to forget that we
even need these products. It's not a
fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us
up by adding smiley faces or bunnies
or flowery cutesy crap to your products
or the packaging.

Put the damned things in a plain brown
wrapper so we can throw it in our carts
discreetly and have it blend in among
the wine and beer. There is nothing
more annoying than having a blinding
pink package announcing your uterine
state to everyone in the damn store.
The ultimate goal of your product
should be functional invisibility at
every stage, including the point of
purchase.

So take your tips for living and
shove them right up you're butt.
Try drinking six to eight glasses
of water to make you feel fresher
while you're doing it !

Ovarily Yours
Miss PMS

As any other guy who's gone into the supermarket and bought "feminine hygiene products" for a lady may say.....

For god's sake just make them look like boxes of cereal, or even better.... tools, bike parts or computer peripherals! Hell do them in giant 5 year supply boxes - they sell everything in Walmart these days, they could disguise them as TV's!!! ANYTHING but bright packaging or names ending in "X"!!!!!!!!!

I dont see how buying them is a big deal, its like buying bras and panties, most of the time they probably wont be for you so its a good thing.
I know that I've never bought any of those items for myself. lol at least as far as I can remember

I designed some machinery to make you-know-what at Tambrands (different company than the Kotex people, but the same product) a few years back. But they never let me inside R&D. A woman would come out of The Door and say to the design staff, hey guys, if we had a machine which took the cotten and did this, and took the string and did that, well, it might be useful. Then she'd go back to doing whatever it was they did in R&D, and we'd design a machine to do what she'd asked for, and a few months later the women in R&D would tell us if it worked or not. We never asked how they could tell if it worked or not, we figured it was best to go with the honor system.

There were packages of competitor's products all over the place, on the desks and filing cabinets, everywhere. Some were in these damn cheerful colors like candy wrappers. The women in Engineering seemed to like those. The men were mystified, figuring the package should be white or surgical green, or maybe camo. But we knew that we had nothing to say about it.

Maybe the weirdest place I ever worked at.

Clearly that "tips for living" advice was not written by someone with 1sthand knowledge of female hygenic situations.

All I can say is, I wouldn't want to be left alone in a room with the women who share the experiences.
