    I think Paltrow should really address what organic gluten-free no-dye-no-fragrance tampons she uses in the next issue of GOOP. She owes it to us, her readers, to have the most peaceful period possible.

    TELL ME WHAT TO DO, GWYNETH! I CAN'T DO THIS ALONE!

    I'm waiting for a celeb to promote the Diva Cup...or anything else that doesn't cost the highway robbery of bleached cotton twatular plugs and that won't contribute to toxic landfill waste.

    I'm dreaming, huh?

    @♥ dosido☮: Maybe when they design a Diva Cup that won’t make me walk bowlegged with a look of sheer pain on my face that will happen. To me, that thing looks like a frilly pink torture device. How is it even supposed to fit?! Maybe I have a super shallow vagina or something…

    The silly tampon ads with blue liquid remind me of how much I love the ClearBlue Easy digital pregnancy test ads: "The most advanced piece of technology you will EVER pee on!"

    @Artemis47: My boyfriend said that until he was a teenager, he had NO IDEA what pads were for, since he only saw blue liquid get dumped on them in commercials (obviously, he has no sisters).

    And yes, that pregnancy test ad is awesome. Although in some areas they had to tone it down and have the narrator say "the most advanced piece of technology you'll ever... well, you know."

    In a tongue-in-cheek way, they captured what it's like to be a teenager. Yeah, there are some cliche's present, but I found it somewhat engrossing.


    Will it sell more tampons? I don't know.

    I've watched a couple more of these. He becomes sensitive, bakes brownies with his sister, and likes to eat yogurt. Ha, ha? I'm not sure if this is supposed to be satirical or if it's just riddled with clichés.

    @thecameralovesyou: It just reeks of "uterus brain" to me. Wakes up with girl parts, becomes sensitive...I get the lingering message that your vagina ultimately controls how you think, what you say, how you feel.
