A bridge too far ...?

Sometimes we have no choice but for me to be with partner in loo - we just take it in our stride.

I think it is refreshing to see the Tena and Allways ads on TV. I guess the preponderance of women in these reflects the facts of what pushing babies out can do!

I don't have a problem with someone openly taking a tampon to the loo, nor stopping for a chat - what are they supposed to do if someone speaks to them? - ignore them?

I welcome the ending of the twee secretiveness about periods and weak bladders. Hopefully it will hep to make things easier for young girls in school.

Having any of the above items on show doesn’t actually prove you are a woman does it?

Anyone who dresses and looks like a woman can do the same so not the best example to prove gender IMO

What’s next......chromosome ID tattoos ? on show of course.

It just seems so unnecessary, who does it benefit. My mother would have been mortified to have a toilet rolls on the tope of her shopping bag and ST's had too be put in a brown paper bag and then another bag. That seems silly but waving them about like a flag, pointless.

Definitely a step too far for me.
We need some discretion in life.
It is like people using the loo in front of their partners, somethings need privacy.

I don’t like the bladder weakness adds on telly. Men have bladder problems too, but you never see one advertising Tenna. Why?

I agree re doing things to make a statement (and I also think that is often the motivation e.g. carrying your tampon openly to the loo (fine, part of life) but then why stop for a chat? (to make a statement).

But then ... we don't all walk around farting away, do we? That's part of life too.

I don't see a problem with it - I would not see it as a particular "statement" and if done for that reason it seems a bit silly; but if you are on a bus with a shopping bag and your pads happen to be visible, then who cares? You would not be embarrassed to have babies' nappies visible.

The Tesco man often takes my pads out of the crates and plonks them on the kitchen table along with all the rest - no problem for me, or apparently for him.

It is just life.

Made me smile.
Would a person similarly walk through a public space clutching a wad of Andrex?

I admit to a “double take” at a single Allways pad in its wrapping glimpsed on a dashboard recently.

Agree with the above comments.Sometimes the ‘let it all hang out’ philosophy gets a bit ridiculous!

No I would not. I dislike that some are 'in your face' with things I prefer to keep private.

I do think its a bridge too far!
Some things are personal.
I bought a huge pack of toilet rolls a few weeks back, and felt quite embarrassed as I bashed everyone on the crowded bus with them.
We all know about body functions, but I see nothing to be proud of.
They just 'are'.
