I got tampons in the mail -- "colorful" is one of the marketing words(?)

[eyesroll]

I got a sample (courtesy of my local Jewel-Osco) of Playtex "beyond™" tampons.

Comfortable, Colorful, Flushable, Fabulous!

OK -- I can understand comfortable and flushable. But colorful? Fabulous?

Do I really care what Carson Kressley has to say about my tampons?

1. Dare I say it?

Okay, I will.

If they're not colorful when they come in the mail, they will be after you use them.

Sorry. I think I broke your thread.

9. Don't break the thread!

that makes them way too hard to remove! Messy!

[Fenris]

11. Goddammit! I just spit hot tea!

LOL geniph!

[FleshCartoon]

15. Yuck!!

I've always had a phobia about that happening to me, but it never has (knock wood or something).

[iconoclastic cat]

2. Yeah, that's just weird.

I wouldn't trust the dye, if I were a woman.

[eyesroll]

5. It appears to just be in the applicator.

But, yeah.
Ick.

scud missiles during Gulf War I.

Li'l rascals!

4. Who wants to bet that craft projects will start to use them

A Christmas Tree made out of green ones, Valentines Day Card made out of red ones, etc.

[methinks2]

16. OMG!!!

That is too hysterical. How about, use all the different colors to make a windchime! Hang it on the porch. Give them as gifts!

[Maddy McCall]

17. LOL! As long as they aren't recycled before being used in crafts projects

I'm sick. Sorry. :shrug:

[flamingyouth]

6. That is just weird

I wonder if I'll get them too, or if at 35 they'll figure I'm too old to bother with! :evilfrown:

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. You have plenty of colorful stories...

...to make up for the lack of colorful tampons.

[flamingyouth]

8. True! True!

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

10. Well, who the hell wants bland tampons?

[theivoryqueen]

14. bland tampons, that's funny.

good wording

[LibertyorDeath]

12. As long as there not used.

[theivoryqueen]

13. I don't even want to know "beyond" what

beyond??? That is too bizarre, plus the whole colorful thing. disturbing - not what a girl is looking for in a reliable feminine protection device.
