I just noticed that Always maxi pads have a new little slogan on their product. Not on the packaging. On their product. Like on the paper backing to the adhesive strip.
"Have a happy period!" now greets you when you sit down. They haven't let the French Canadian folk down either - "Bonne et heureuse semaine" is for you guys.
Honestly, I can't think of anything I would like to see less on the back of my maxi pad. In fact, I don't want anything written at all. No doves. No stupid diamond or flower shapes to remember as I stand in the feminine hygiene aisle at the pharmacy, leaving me to feel moronic and lost. No caricatures of any kind. Okay?
Having said that, if you must include something, don't make me role my eyes at your merriment over the next 5-7 days of my life. Make me laugh. Hell, make me think! Just don't make it sound like I should be thankful for your presence in my life, Always.
I do have some suggestions for you;
- "Yeah, what can you do, but we hear if you mix some Tylenol 1's with Midol you get a nice buzz."
- "Hey, it's better than the alternative."
- (Or for those TTC) "Well this fucking sucks, doesn't it?"
- "We've now included a shot glass and tequila in every package!"
- "So that explains the last 48 hours. You can now look back on yelling at everyone without guilt!"
- "Being a girl doesn't rock that much. We lied."
Those are just a few of the ideas I came up with. My husband now thinks I have officially lost it. Before it was just because I thought he might be retarded for getting that much joy out of the "Hand In My Pocket" commercials. Now he thinks I put way too much thought into my expectations from a feminine napkin.
