I remember back in the 1980s Tampax started advertising on the radio.
I saw a guy headed down a logging road in his Jeep, 4 wheeling it, blasting some tunes, and this came on. A little cringe-worthy but plenty funny (to me).

It definitely gets your attention which is the point. I think the more options and awareness of birth control the better.

I have not seen this one yet but I have seen the pooping commercial. I must admit it kind of shocked me. Not so much the subject but being able to tell some (or at least one) is sitting on a toilet. Cannot believe I am saying this but after viewing that commercial I do not think Viagra ect... for men is quite so bad. At least those are just kind of running around in a park and being free with the wind blowing in the older couple's hair.

Saw the one for the deodorant for: "Private parts."

Oh no I have not seen that. It does not sound like the FDS product I grew up watching advertised in the '70's. My Mom caught me once in the early days of my using deodorant and I was using her FDS instead of my own product. I thought the FDS was so pretty. She had to explain to me it was more than a "deodorant" and was not intended to be sprayed under someone's arm. I think I was about 11 at the time.

Agree perhaps the companies do it for "shock value" so people will remember their ad...BUT it does have the opposite effect because some people HATE the commercials so much they avoid the brand like the plague!!!

Well said!

It's surprising how many women do not know much about their female body parts and men often do not have a clue - even ones married for years and years!! Why such secrecy?
They can look anything and everything up on the internet in the privacy of their own home!

It's a matter of privacy and proper etiquette. If you wouldn't choose to introduce it as a topic of conversation at a social gathering, then having it broadcast into your home uninvited is unacceptable.
