Danish feminine hygiene advertisements with FACES #1

This is unlikely to turn into a long-running series.



"This is really disturbing... I'm English, but staying in Denmark for a bit. There's an advert for panty liners on the TV, seemingly in every break, with bumper cars unable to escape the leakproof edge of a panty liner accompanied by the 'circus music'. Oh god. The view in the TV ad is from above. Until seeing this advert I had no idea that the bumper car has a face... sinister, frightening - a car with a face that can't escape from your blood spotted underpants?"



"It's fine. But how did they sell it to the marketing department at Always? And who made the bumper car model? And did they make a giant size panty liner for the photoshoot? Or is it a real panty liner with the 'knicker car' made to scale and photoshopped in?" - Jody.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS
"Also there is no driver - so it seems the bumper car is haunted. A haunted, sinister faced, blood spattered bumper car is is trying to escape from my panties...

"You can see the stamp of the cafe I stole the magazine page from. Hopefully they don't mind a free advert for their place. Maybe a reader will call them and dob me in?"

I don't know if this is good weird or bad weird, but it made Denmark a bit more interesting nonetheless.

I can't help but notice the tagline at the bottom: "Have a happy period. Always".

Does that mean they want women to enjoy them, or they want them to last forever so they'll sell more sanitary towels?

I'm sure a similar advert ran on UK TV. It had what looked like a load of trapped beetles trying to escape a massive pantyliner; the concept alone nearly made me scream, face or no face.

I can't believe that nobody at the advertising company spotted the horrifying, 18-certificate-Mummyish undertones of an implied link between vaginal discharge and beetle swarms. uuueeeeEERGH AARGH NO NO NONONONONO PLEASE GOD NO

The suggestion that a woman can enjoy her period is just stupid.

How about a new category - Batteries on the blob ? I'm sure we'ed get some creative photos.

Have you seen the mess an exhausted battery can leave.

I wonder if there's such a thing as discharge porn?

I would look it up myself, but not only am I at work, our IT lady carried out an 'audit' this week. Plus if it does exist it's probably disgusting.

I know for a fact that vomit porn exists, and as for cake-farting, well, the less said about that the better..
