Finally...

... commercials that make sense. I don't know if y'all have seen these commercials, but I think they are hilarious and refreshing. As far as the actuality of most womens' periods go - they are a lot more reflective than other commercials for menstrual products. Kotex uses footage from previous commercials and a lot of sarcasm to comment on how hush-hush our patriarchal society is about things that happen "down there" and with women in general. The fact that several networks refused to carry the commercial unless they removed the word vagina is kind of ridiculous - and illustrative.
Kudos to Kotex on a more realistic approach to tampon commercials (the two running in the US are below). A bit strange that they used an animatronic beaver for the Aussie version, but that's Aussie humor for ya.





"Don't all of these angles make me seem dynamic?" Awesome.
