”… effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere.”

Bwahahaha – well done her! Wish I’d thought of that.

She is right, the whole industry is really freakin’ condescending. Also, forgive me for saying so, but it is sooo clear that most of the marketing is thought up by men!

There is ABSOLUTELY no such thing as a happy period!

Taoist Biker: Chocolate wouldn’t really make it all better, but would be more of a soothing element. Kind of like aroma & taste therapy. Thanks for visiting my blog… I won’t throw a hammer, I promise. Well, at least not for about 10 more days anyway.

This woman is clearly brilliant! I often wondered the same thing when I would see those dumb commercials. “Happy Period?” I would curse “there is no such thing!”

Seriously? Packaging feminine hygiene products with chocolates would make it all better?

There *are* benefits to a menopausal wife. Finally having the thermostat set somewhere below “inferno” is only one of them!

Now I hereby duck quickly back out of this post before I get hurt.

(Seriously, though, that is some funny stuff!)

Maybe they should try a Ghirardelli chocolate square instead of a happy message. Now that would make me have a happier period!

Wow, how convincing… thanks for posting this.

(I too love the part about putting down the hammer.)

“Put down the hammer.” I love it!

That sounds like something my husband would write…if he had periods.
