It's easy to see and while we know no one pees or bleeds blue water, the idea of the Pure Wick device using yellow colored water in its' commercial kind of skeeves me out (as would red water for the pads) I don't need my advertising to be that accurate to get the point across. The anti-smoking ads are already gross enough, we don't need to add to that. jmo 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/729/#findComment-8612264

Thanks to my enlightened mother I bypassed sanitary pads altogether and went straight to tampons (and not the crappy cardboard applicator ones). Expand I wasn't lucky enough to be able to use tampons. It had nothing to do with enlightenment or lack thereof but was a physical issue. But tampon commercials are often just as icky as pad commercials.
