Do you think it’s okay for companies to advertise period health on public platforms where children can see it as well?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

I was on YouTube and saw this advertisement.

Yes

No

[Quackthulu2]

Why wouldn’t it be? No good ever comes from stigmatizing healthcare.

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

I wonder why they left out the brown discharge picture examples! I don’t have a problem with it

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Just was curious on other opinions

[Quackthulu2]

Because there is still a stigma around it. Same reason tampon commercials use blue water. They also left out red, and nobody ever talks about blood clots during menstruation. Fucking thought I was dying first time that shit happened.

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Do you think they should advertise the realistic side of period? Red and brown discharge? Real examples?

[Quackthulu2]

I think they should be free too, yes. Like how toilet paper should be able to talk about cleaning your butthole, and not just having a “shiny hiney” Kids need to know how their own bodies work. And with all the political bullshit around our fucked up education system sure can’t depend on public schools to teach them.

A question could start The Talk without forcing it on your kids.

[AngryCarl2]

Yes, as long as it's done tastefully. Which this wasn't.

[gorydetails]

I don't know that the algorithm would show that to children. And it's not overly graphic.

That's the left for you.
