Come on ladies, level with me.

When I watch television and I see a commercial for feminine hygiene products boasting the absorbency, comfort, or stealthiness of their product I always found something amiss. Recently I was watching television and was blind-sided by one such commercial. I think it was for the Always brand of pads.
.....The scene: A woman is in her bedroom, floral colours abound, a light breeze blowing her sarong. (Yes, I know what a sarong is.) She’s smiling, laughing, and even dancing. Note: she is all by herself. In the background the "theme" song for the commercial plays triumphantly "I LOVE COTTON! I LOVE ALWAYS!!" The voice over goes into explaining what this woman is so happy about, but this commercial has reaffirmed my doubt concerning the discomfort women feel during their monthly ride on the cotton pony.
.....From my limited knowledge of what it’s like to actually have a period, I doubt a pad would result in the euphoric, somewhat religious, cathartic experience this particular woman was undergoing. Especially when the commercial simply boasts that the new pads are now infused with cotton! The only reasonable course of thought is this: Having a period must be fun as shit. Can you blame me though? I mean look at that woman. She’s practically rapturous! Dancing, smiling manically, and carrying on like blissful mental patient.
.....About the pads though. Again, from my limited knowledge of pads, such advancements in pad technology has really taken off. First it was wings, then a combination of chemical and cloth that sucked that not-so-fresh feeling/smell into a "hide away core", and now... COTTON! Well fuck me and call me, Sally. That is some good Pad, maybe it is enough to make a woman do a little jig in her room when no one is looking.
.....Returning to the Always commercial I saw. Right at the end of the commercial, the woman who was dancing and singing and smiling all by her lonesome gets her shit disturbed by her husband/lover/cabana boy. She's all embarrassed that she's been caught. This only strengthens my belief that having a period must be one of the most enjoyable experiences a man will never know. Over human history women have made it known that having a period is not fun, but is it the truth? Could the monthly, week-long slothing out and shedding of an unused uterine lining actually be more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Has this Always commercial just outted the one thing women have managed to keep secret from men? Come on ladies, level with me.

Okay, that ad makes me mad. It totally misrepresents what it's like to have a period. It was clearly made by someone who's never had one.

If you want to know what it's like, imagine wearing a soggy diaper for a week, and tell me that it's "blissful". Sure.
