**WARNING...if you are uncomfortable with any discussion of tampons, douches, or feminine wash, I suggest you do not read this!
- Tampax
- Monistat
- Feminine Wash
- BASICALLY ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH "DOWN THERE" CARE!
When I think of subtle commercials that targets the needs of women, I immediately think of one of my favorite commercials. Go ahead, watch this and try to guess what they are selling....
Ok...let's talk about this commercial. The opening sequence is a woman with a cat in her lap....another term for a cat is a PU**Y!! Next the term "mow the lawn"...is a subtle way to put it! Maybe the girls standing behind the many different shapes of their "topiary" isn't subtle enough. The woman with the TULIPS (two lips) between her legs catches your attention....but in a subtle way! Ahhh...those folks in the UK are so clever...and their commercials always are a bit naughty. But wait....there is a sister-commercial here in the US.....
See....I bet you saw this commercial and never even realized the subtle transformation of the "bushes" as the ladies walked past them!
How about a subtle commercial for tampons....
Yes....she is with her "beaver"!!
A long time ago, all of this was taboo. However in the 1980's....commercials for feminine hygiene products started airing on television. But of course they too were subtle.....
Who doesn't talk to their mom about douching...while sailing on a boat?
Sometimes, it is best to use humor when talking about something that makes people uncomfortable. In this commercial....the point is that the tampon is ultra-absorbant!
A few years ago, a new advertisement campaign was launched. The ads made fun of the usual way female products are advertised on commercials!
I can go on and on....but today I found the best of the worst! Summer's Eve has a new ad campaign and it is getting a lot of buzz. I came across these ads in an article, asking people are if they are considered racist. I am not sure if they are racist...but I do know they are cringe-inducing! There is nothing subtle about these commercials. I will let you take a look and you can make your own decision. All I know is that I question WHO even thought this was a smart marketing ploy!
Did she say "VAGINA LAND" and "VERTICAL SMILE"? Are those hands supposed to be a subtle way to look like a vagina?
Now if this commercial will make both the men and women cringe! I am now wondering what I say when my son starts saying "Hail to the V" at school while squeezing his thumb up and down like on the commercial!
