Speaking of U by Kotex, I just saw another one of their new commercials and it's like a shorter version of the first half of this article lol

YES. I saw this the other day and lol'ed and lol'ed. More commercials need to do this - I swear I tear apart 99% of the commercials I see.

"DISCREET", not "DISCRETE", AAAHH

Otherwise, rock on, this article is awesome.

Maybe they're making sure that there's no ambiguity of the options available?

(Ditto, former computer science major :D I always felt like I was the only one having fun in that class besides the teacher. Love discrete math, hate it when the word gets misused, because I think most of the people who type "discrete" don't even know what that word means, heh...)

They have to do that to get past TV censorship.

Ahahaha, I love those Kotex ads. I still don't really buy Kotex because they're rarely the cheapest ones in the store (my #1 criteria), but their ads are great.

automat April 30 2010, 03:43:02 UTC

really? Kotex has always been the cheapest brand whenever I pick some up. I usually go to hy-vee (midwestern grocery store) or dollar general and I can get them for about $3.50

the cheaper ones would probably be the ones with cardboard applicators D:

lone_concertina April 30 2010, 04:06:55 UTC

Yeah Kotex is always my go-to brand because you can get gigantic boxes of super plus for like $5.

windy_lea April 30 2010, 04:15:23 UTC

Adding my support to this brand. If I weren't already loyal--I won't use any other tampon brand unless desperate--this ad campaign would actually make me consider converting. The only other product for which I'm brand loyal is toilet paper. lol, priorities

Also, I agree with automat: cardboard applicators = :-[ in my book.
