"Make your mouse comfortable." In Swedish "mus" (lit. "mouse") also means "pussy" (ie. vagina). It's a nice break from all that misogynist "blue liquid woman afraid of anyone knowing her secret" crap.

The best thing is they're all over the place. :)

OMG, I agree with Fass? The apocalypse is upon us! :eek:

Haha, thats grand. :)

"pussy" (ie. vagina)

I wonder how many people needed this distinction. :D

Aw, how cute.

Having ads like that might have made shoving tampons up my nose when I broke it more enjoyable.

That is cute though, not that the viscous looking, sticky blue liquid isn't nice...:rolleyes:

We don't all have English as a first language. Not that that has always meant that one is able to speak it...

Oh, If'n I only had a vagina...

Gee, and I could have sworn you had all that sand in it...

Makes me a little afraid/aroused to consider the possibilities...

OMG, I agree with Fass? The apocalypse is upon us! :eek:
Everyone agrees with Fass. It's just not always mutual.

I dont know what I was expecting when I clicked on this, but yeah, that actually is kinda cute.

did I just use the word cute? ugh...

Gee, and I could have sworn you had all that sand in it...

No. That was the guy before me. I know how your memory can lapse.

Fairly common, actually. We just put a little twist in it.

Quite frankly, I'm shocked that you are not familiar with this.

I'd like to see ads like that here. The ones we have are all sexist in one way or another. You have ads that say, "If your friends no its your period, they'll all hate you. Buy our tampons," and the, "Women have scitsofrania (I don't care that I spelt that wrong), buy our tampons." Then there's my least favorite of the bunch, "Women are physically superior to men. Buy our tampons."

It's about time someone realised that comfort is king and nobody has blue blood. Excellent, I hope that the ads (or something similar) come here.

Oh yeah, sometimes, given the nature of the issue, it's isn't such a "cute" application ... sometimes it's more like this ...

Seriously ... crabs/spiders

Or something along those lines.

OMG, I agree with Fass? The apocalypse is upon us! :eek:


The scary thing is I agree with Fass on this one.

Wow? I never thought I would see adorable and tampon used in the same sentence.

You know, I hate those tampon commerical on the TV. They always use the blue liquid thing. Ladies, I'm going to tell you right now, if you're bleeding blue liquid, you got bigger problems than keeping yourself clean and dry. I suggest you call 911 NOW! :p

Is it a bad thing that you just made me think about this, and I wrecked my brain for it but couldn't find a single memory of a German tampon ad? I remember blue liquid from other sanitary products ads, but.. Could some other German get in here ASAP and either assure me that there is no such thing as German tampon ads, or discreetly link me to one?

I always wondered what exactly the women in those adverts had eaten/taken to turn their blood blue.....

I was insulted.

Umm..no?
The 'feminine hand' (Jesus, how creepy would it be if a mal hand clutches it?!) one rings no bell at all, and the "geschwungene Rillen" I think I only recall from the actual package where you can't miss it being printed on there.. but I still honestly do not remember any ad. I think I shall google. (God, how low can you go when you start googling tampon ads)

Edit:// I remember now! There's been a TV one, for the one with the curved thingies, where that woman stage-dived in some skimpy (white-ish?) clothing and you could see all these people handling her close to her intimate region and the off-voice said something along the lines of "good to know thee won't be any accidents with the new blablabla", right?

Believe me, there is much worse... ;-)

One of the things why Sweden really rocks (besides all the seriously hot girls) :D

Lets not have any of those blue fluid accidents on here...move along...nothing to be seen....only a bit of string.....:rolleyes:

Hmm, the only tampon I can think of there is "ob". Here's the webpage:
http://www.ob-online.de/
Spots for pads (Always) are much more frequently though (at least I got that impression).
Nothing to do with blue stuff anymore though.

Why is your quote box in German all of a sudden? :confused:

I wondered *that* as well. Maybe changing your forum setting to German? (I know I kept mine in English, I never tried it the other way, but maybe..?)

Try it, why dontcha.

How could I resist your request.

And I'll change it back immediately after your acknowledging this post. You don't know how awful this mix of German instructions and things like your 'Registrierungsdatum' [abomination!] in an English-speaking forum is! It seriously looks like they put it through a cheap online translator.

Edit:// Lemme see what it does when I change it back now. This is really inacceptable. "Betrachtet ein Forum General". *shudders*
Edit2 :// Quote box still in German. Good. Case closed, and don't make me go there again.
Edit3 :// It mystically changed back?! Okay, back to German then. And you better look at this soon so I get to change it back.

I wish I was a tampon. :(



Shup, Prince Charles. :mad:

You mean you like the idea of having a retraction string and ending your life flushed down a toilet soaking with blood after being forcibly pulled on the former? Yeah, that's understandable.

That was actually a reference to Prince Charles. You may remember he told Debbie Row that he wanted to be her tampon. I just thought of it when I saw this thread.

I don't like the idea of you half-knowing this. *backs away slowly*

Anyhow, I've been waiting for you to show up. Any more tampon ads you can remind me of that I might have seen, except that rather stupid stagediving one?

Aww, Fass, I love the mouse ad! (It's o.b., too, which is totally a German company *random trivia of the day: "o.b." is short for "ohne Binde", "without pad". Clever, eh? Nobody knows this, though. Except y'all. You're welcome.*). Too bad the joke doesn't work at all in German. They could have a cat lounge on the thing, because we kind of have the "pussy" thing too, but the German word for it would be more crass & stupid than cute, methinks.

I'm not sure why you hold me to be an authority on tampon ads, and I have to disappoint you anyway. At first I was sure you had to be blind and deaf (and just possibly a little slow in the head) to not remember the billions of tampon commercials, but yeah, I think they're really all just pad ads, come to think of it.

A lot of the "wearing skin-tight, blindingly white pants and yet being all *tadaaa* carefree"...

No idea why there aren't more tampon commercials. Maybe o.b. has enough of the market in their hands that they don't need to advertise, and the couple of random other brands are too poor to advertise?

How the hell am I supposed to know this?!

*walks off grumbling*

My landlady keeps calling our cats "Muschis". It is very hard for me to keep a sraight face when she does that. In the rural areas it really does seem to be an okay word for it, though.

Yeah, I remember pad ads. And I'm glad to find some..support?

Could be that you are the only poster I know to be a German woman in Germany, hmm?

The mere fact of which left me too scared to openly admit to have seen that.
Hell, it started out badly with a rather puzzling combination of thread-starter and thread already, and I can only take so much.

Hey....I'm a team player. You can count on me. I have outfits....

"Make your mouse comfortable." In Swedish "mus" (lit. "mouse") also means "pussy" (ie. vagina). It's a nice break from all that misogynist "blue liquid woman afraid of anyone knowing her secret" crap.
That is absolutely adorable.

Also, is it funny that in swedish, vagina is the same as mouse but in english it's pussy (cat)? Or am I the only one who thinks so.
