Dear Kotex,
I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantyliner 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 individual behind this was someone who has never possessed a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a menstruating woman that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh. Like we need more fluid inside our bloated bodies from hell...but go ahead...I triple-dog-friggen-dare-ya... See what happens and report back. I'll wait. While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the chocolate from the vending machine. I garan-damn-tee you that the first responders will be females who just ovulated. Staying active will relieve headaches & cramps...well guess what, the only activities that interest me is eating .sleeping..*****ing or crying, does that count as a friggen' activity????? Look, females don't need or want tips for living on their feminine hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful"crap like that from elderly relatives. Veteran females have already concocted their own recipes for survival, many containing alcohol & barbituates. Printing out crap advice while sneaking in ads for the brand that was already purchased is just plain annoying, not to mention rude, and is enough to send a girl running to the Always brand. It's not a fun time, and 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 crap in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it in our carts 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 store! Why don't you just add an in-store microphone to the damn package & announce that...helloooo, another female in the store is on the rag!!!!! So take your tips for living and your cute bunnies & the smiley faces and shove them right up your ***! P.S. How about adding a free sample of Pamprin & maybe a shot of Bourbon to your packages instead?

The ones from Always say, "Have a Happy Period."
I enjoy giving it a piece of my mind as I peel it off.  Obviously a man thought this ad campaign up. Have a happy period, indeed.

Perfect--so well written & real. I am 52 & done with "the rag" but I remember the days well where all I wanted was some chocolate & bourbon (of course after I was 21!) & a trashy novel or newspaper & let me just be & suffer & treat myself as I damn well please. Don't tell me to exercise, drink water, or go on with life. When your cravings are so intense & your hormones out of whack, it's a good time to check out of life for awhile.--Suzy

Another thought about femine hygiene products......
Why in magazine or tv adverts do they show the menstrual fluid as blue? Doesn't this confuse younger girls about periods who haven't started to menstrate?

Hello I agree with most of the statements here. Either Kotex is confused or really is missing the mark on what women want in a feminine product. All women really want is LEFT ALONE DURING THEIR PERIOD. They shouldget it right and send the money necessary to be able to be left alone one week out of every month, for babysitters hotel rooms, and maids and someone to work the job no one wants in the first place, one week out of the month.Take care GOOD IDEAS. sincerely soidhonia

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
