I usually hate the email SPAM I get but I found this one worth sharing. And thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever wrote this and put into words what I have always felt!

Dear Kotex:

I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a

bunch of "Kotex Tips for Life" on it.

Annoying advice such as:


Staying active during your period can relieve cramps.

Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches.

Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling

fresh. Try Kotex blah blah blah other products...


Obviously the individual behind this was someone who has never

possessed a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a

menstruating
woman that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh..
Like we need more fluid inside our bloated bodies from hell. B
ut go ahead...I triple-dog-dare-ya...See what happens and report back.
I'll wait.


While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the

chocolate from the vending machine. I garan-tee that the first

responders will be females who just ovulated.


Staying active will relieve headaches & cramps...well guess what, the

only activities that interests me is eating..sleeping..bitching or

crying for no apparent reason. ...and oh...does ripping someone's head

off count as an activity?????


Look, females don't need or want tips for living on their feminine

hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap

like that from elderly relatives. Veteran females have already

concocted
their own recipes for survival, many containing alcohol & barbituates.

Printing out crap advice while sneaking in ads for the brand that was

already purchased is just plain annoying, not to mention rude, and is

enough to send a girl running to the Always brand.


It's not a fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us up by adding smiley

faces or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or

the packaging. Put the crap in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it

in
our carts discreetly and have it blend in among the wine and beer.

There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink package

announcing your uterine state to everyone in the store. Why don't ya

just add an in-store microphone to the damn package & announce

that...helloooo, another female in the store is on the rag!!!!!


So take your tips for living and your cute bunnies & the smiley faces

and shove them right up your a$$.


PS How about adding a free sample of Pamprin & maybe a shot of Bourbon

to your packages instead!!!

hmmmm, i drink at least 100 ounces of water every day no matter what time of month .. and i swear it helps even though it sounds counter-intuitive. If you're not drinking enough h2o your bod will hold onto it more steadfastly. Drinking more water actually helps flush the retained water. :) i would, however, never give up caffeine in the name of pain relief - no caffeine brings with it it's own form of pain :wink:

Not touching this one. That much I have learned.

One of the major perks of my job IMO is free coffee, as much as I want, anytime I want. No one with an ounce of sense would get in between me and the caffine, no matter what time of the month it is.

In Africa, some tribes sequester the women in huts and forbid any contact at all untill they are done menstruating. Some days...I wish I was in one of those tribes.
