I get physically ill when this commerical shows up on TV. I'm not sure whether its because of menstruating men or underwear that "absorbs" one's period. Or both.

That's the first I've ever even heard of that.... whatever it is. I literally cannot think of a word that's bad enough to describe what I think of it.

Just more PC, female victim card bullsh*t garbage telling us that men are a bunch of selfish bastards who go through life, not only blissfully unaware, but even worse, utterly uncaring of the menstrual burden women suffer as they struggle their way through a male, sexist pig dominated world.

Well, I must admit, the part in bold text is true of myself and most regular, normal, well-adjusted males I know. We don't give a sh*t about female menstruation issues.

Except maybe for this guy, who seems to have devoted an inordinate amount of thought to the subject:


As for the commercial, I was going to say that whoever conceived and produced that ad should be castrated with a machete, but then it occurred to me that it was probably a woman to begin with.

...the ads take aim and lay their claim to the heart and the soul of the spender

^ LOL

What is the point of this commercial?  Period Pads Matter?  That guys don't understand- (getting screwed in the ass might make them bleed)- Ahem, this simple human female thing?  This should be a freaking 'Pass It On' commercial.

Reminds me of an old joke:

How can you tell if a midget at the nude beach is on her period?

She keeps tripping over the string

What the actual heralding fvck?!?

At first I thought it was an acceptance of transgenders SJW message (wants to be male but still physically a female).  And then... anal rape?

I am now traumatized.  I'm going back into my dark hole now.  Bye.

When I first saw this ad, I wasn't paying too much attention and thought it was some snl spoof. But then I saw it wasn't any snl actors I recognized. My next thought was horror then a blinding rage of wtf? Tasteless, arrogant and beyond f**king stupid and pointless.

Apparently, according to the UK health services, they've decreed that men can menstruate, just like women.  I'm thinking that the people behind that skipped biology class that day...

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about actual menstruating men---that is, females transitioning into males (or thinking they are) yet who still have remnants of their cisgender days.  I mean, everyone's doing that these days and we all have to be sensitive to that, right?

If you look closely at the video at .44 seconds.  The string is hanging!  WTF!

I almost doubt this is airing on national television.

I've only seen it on cable (Dish network, anyway). Also, most of the commercials I see are a little shorter... they don't have the guy in bed, rolling away from his blood stain; they don't show the locker room guy with the string hanging.

We've been talking about this bloody commercial all week at work.  I thought it was some SJW crap too. But, being a female that has dealt with many a debilitating period myself, I just had to know more.  There are some hilarious reviews (and some gross) out there on said product.

Two things that stand out to me: 
1) the PRICE- $32 for ONE PAIR of spot-cutShocked and 2) hand wash onlyDead

So Thinx disabled the comment section on the YouTube video (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QEDZkj_Riw ). It's a shame, because it was a lively discussion (at least 90% negative comments). The ability to up-vote or down-vote is still currently there. At this time, 1,700 up-votes, 5,700 down-votes.

You took away my thunder. Like minds think alike. But Thinx blows to hell Alice Cooper's hypothesis that only women bleed. Who knew? BTW the brunette chick at the end of this testament to riding that cotton pony is a hottie!
I approve this message.

If you're a man and you're bleeding out of your pee hole, you shouldn't be buying underwear;  You should get to the ER right away, 'cause there's something really wrong going on with your insides...

take it from a woman’s view point - PERIODS SUCK - they are Not fun - they show up unexpectedly when you least want them - they are fn messy - and you also feel like someone punched you in the gut for an entire week - why anyone (transgenders or whatever you call them) would want a period is beyond me. The only good thing about them is on the first day when you get to fist pump and shout *not pregnant!* and then the other 6.5 days suck.

So, if a woman and a man are both having sex and menstruating at the same time (as shown in this commericial), would you consider it a bloody mess? Yes, or no?
