The Always ads are stupid. They have always been stupid. They will always be stupid. And, they are so clearly designed by men because no women would think up "Have a Happy Period" as a slogan. I don't care about their dry-weave or pretty patterns on something designed to collect my blood. I'm not planning on displaying my used pads on youtube. I just want something practical to deal with the blood. Periods may be natural but they ain't an afternoon tea party. At least, I've never been to a tea party involving diarrhea, cramps, heavy bleeding, bloating, migraines and mood swings. I may be leading a somewhat sheltered life though.
I did try to find a link to one of these ads on youtube but mostly I found pisstakes of the "Have a Happy Period" bullshit. I didn't quite feel the need to watch any but it was enough to make me not bother searching further. Frankly, if you're desperate to see it, the ad runs on TV constantly.
The only thing I can say that is positive is that Always finally made me take the plunge into buying a mooncup. Probably not their intention but its made me happier. No more monthly purchases supporting the ultra-stupid P&G and their utterly bizarre "P&G is Proud to Sponsors Mums" crapola which just makes me want to vomit.
