An Email from my cousin (Sorry gentlemen)

Dear Kotex,



I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a
bunch of "Kotex Tips for Life" on it.  Annoying advice such as:

- Staying active during your period can relieve cramps.
- Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches.
- Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling
fresh.
- Try Kotex blah blah blah other products.

Obviously the person behind this was someone who has never possessed
a functioning pair of ovaries.  Go ahead and tell a menstruating
woman TO HER FACE that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep
her feeling fresh. See what happens and report back.  I'll wait
here.

While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the
chocolate from the vending machine.  I guaran-damn-tee that the
first responders will be females who just ovulated.


Look, females don't need or want tips for living on feminine hygiene
products.  Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap like
that from their elderly relatives.  Veteran females have already
concocted their own recipes for survival, most containing alcohol.

Printing out shit advice while sneaking in ads for the brand THAT
WAS ALREADY PURCHASED is just plain annoying, not to mention rude
and enough to send a girl running to the Always brand.

Mostly we'd like to forget that we even need these products. It's
not a fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us up by adding smiley
faces or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or the
packaging.  Put the shit in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw
it in our carts discreetly and have it blend in among the wine and
beer. There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink
package announcing your uterine state to everyone in the damn
store. The ultimate goal of your product should be functional
invisibility at every stage, including the point of purchase.



So take your tips for living and shove them right up your ass.
(Try drinking six to eight glasses of water to make you feel
fresher while you're doing it!)



Ovarily Yours

Miss PMS
