Pad and tampon ads piss me off. Advertising aimed at women tends to be vapid and irritating in general, but pad and tampon ads are the worst. If I were in charge, this is how a tampon ad would go:
Plain white space. A woman in her 30s, sensibly dressed, walks onscreen.
Woman: "We're not going to insult your intelligence with mysterious blue liquid or happy, perky actresses. Our product is absorbent and easy to use, so that you can think about that bull**** for as little time as possible. Periods suck. We're here to help."
Simple logo screen.
