Is The New 'Bachelorette' Engaged?
'In Fantasy Land, We Teach Our Kids Abstinence -- And They Listen'
Dear Stayfree, Never mind that guys who express that much interest in maxi pads make us think PERVY FETISHIST. Using a "sensitive" shirtless dude to sell women maxi pads is egregiously condescending and skin-crawlingly gross.
It is nowhere near as cool as the Old Spice guy. In fact, we can't think of anything LESS appealing than a patronizing dude demonstrating the absorbency of your maxi pads.
Hello, what is he doing with MAXI PADS IN HIS HOUSE? Why is he so invested in what maxi pad we choose to use WHILE HE'S COOKING US DINNER? And why would we want a MAN to teach us about MAXI PADS in the first place?!
Creepy and pathetic, Stayfree. Enjoy!

Eeww. Really?! "This is easy..." Um, if by "easy" he means "awkward" (and creepy), then yes. This is easy.
This guy was probably stoked for this gig. I hope that the relentless taunting that hes now receiving was worth it.
Oh, and by the way "Trevor", the hard places to vacuum are the 13' high window ledges in my foyer, not the floor next to the couch...

You are so right!!! This is the creepiest, grossest, most nonsensical commercial I've seen in a long time! Right up there with the bears wiping their behinds with Charmin, trying not to leave any tissue behind. The ad agencies seem to be on crack. They no longer give you the information you need to make a purchase: how many and what flavors, scents, colors, etc.; what's better about this product than others, etc. We don't need to be entertained by a commercial. When I go to shop, I'm not gonna look for the the product that does what I need to have done, not the one with the cute jingle. And I don't need a man to "show" me how to choose feminine hygiene products!

remember the psa that came out around Christmas last year with the sensitive guy advising other guys to schedule their lady's pap smear as the gift that keeps giving?!
pashaw!
what amazes me is the number of people who gave this project a thumbs up and helped it get this far.
on the flip, i guess, you're talking about it and i'm commenting on it so....they kinda win?
sick.

Is this Stayfree's answer to U by Kotex?! Wow. That literally could not have been more of a train wreck. It is completely devoid of humor, chock full of stereotypes-- which I am sure every sanitary product-buying woman out there just ADORES-- and extra creepy. Mega fail.

I far prefer this to women in white running thru a meadow, and all that other nonsense typically used. It's also a reversal of/play on stereotypes.. the guy is cleaning and thoughtful while the girl is taken care of and checkin out his ass as he walks. Women portraying wives talk about their husbands needs all the time in commercials. I don't see why this is so "creepy and pathetic."

You can't be more right. The media has even trained " us" women to have perfect, sexy, and sometimes less common body types to sell us products. Notice a wrinkle cream ad features very young photoshopped women, mascara ads use models wearing fake eyelashes! We, as female consumers, don't know how to react to the same sexist attitudes directed toward men. We call it CREEPY??? I think it's giving men a dose of their own medicine!ake them feel like an object for once!

Brawny did it so so so much better with their Brawny Man campaign. This is just stupid.

While I do agree Brawny did it better, I think these are pretty funny. I don't think we're supposed to take it seriously; it's supposed to be awkward and out-of-context and completely not like reality at all. Satire I think they used to call it.

Would you girls or women just calm down for a change and let guys be guys and you can be girls?! ;-) Besides, I bet you girls, since you're making it a gender thing, desire something of his like his boxers, lol, maybe??? :D Afterall I know some of you wear something called boy shorts....Lol, in other words, enjoy life's pleasures and stop genderizing and making things seem like a crime, when they're not or not as much as many of the stuff you guys do! ;-) OK??? This is a guy speaking for other guys and girls who think guyish thoughts! ;-)
