Wearing skinny jeans without panties is just plain irritating.

Besides, I have lots of cute panties.

But why is it any worse than the ridiculous ads for Viagra, ads for yeast infections, or the millions of ads that are on tv for class action suits for pelvic meshes and such. Or all the drug ads which are really about five minutes or so of warnings? Why would anybody really want to take a chance on some of those drugs with all the possible health risks involved? Honestly, I'm sick of all of them.

Would somebody tell me just what two people sitting in separate bathtubs do for Viagra or Cialis? My DH and I just shake our heads when we sit them. Oh, and now there's a woman who advertises Viagra. "And see....if Viagra....is right....for you." That's exactly how she talks. is that really supposed to be sexy? It's ridiculous!

And the ads for Tena, some kind bladder control pads. Good grief, women are singing at the top of their lungs in their car or laughing like hyenas in public. I don't get it, I just don't get it. The ad industry has hit rock-bottom. And just when you think it cannot sink any lower, they prove you wrong.

I even think the ads for Charmin and the "Enjoy the go" are inane at this point. Enjoy the go? Really?

They are all ridiculous!

I have never understood the Cialis ads.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

I understand why they take it (lol), just don't know why he and she sit in separate tubs holding hands. I could see if they got into a hot tub together {#emotions_dlg.devil2}

A new low for advertising. Crude! That and the commercials that have people simulate vomiting. One is for a car, and the other is for a furniture store. Surely there are more creative folks out there in the advertising world who have some sense of taste. I fear bad, and getting worse, as far as commercials go.

A bunch of BFs get together every month for cards and drinks and once we had the commando discussion. I was surprised at how many ladies do indeed not use panties on a regular basis, including work. That said, I don't like the commercials.

If they wear dresses that would be ok but pants? Eeeeuuuwwwww! I hope they wash them after each wear.

When my mom started nursing school (in 1940), she innocently wrote to her parents about how most of the girls wore girdles, but no panties underneath. (Not panty girdles, the old fashioned kind.) My grandma was so horrified that from that day on, she bought my mom underwear for every occasion, or no occasion, at every opportunity, for the rest of Grandma's life!

The commando commercial is gross--that one and all the Tena commercials. They both get my vote for the worst!

The fact is that many adults do not wear underwear, and those people do use toilet paper. These commercials, while seen as crude by some, will likely generate sales in this untapped market. After all, if I were one of these people, I would consider purchasing this product.

I see them as no worse than many of the other commercials that air.
