Hilarious Tampax ad

Kuibata · 7 months

Those are Sand Tiger Sharks (Carcharias taurus), also called Grey Nurse sharks in some parts of the world. You can mainly tell by the thin ragged teeth which don't allow the shark to close their mouths fully. Yes, I am a "sharkologist" and strangely enough I've been swimming with about a dozen of them with a tampon in. But it wasn't a Tampax, I call shenanigans!!!

And that is why I call "that week" Shark week.

Everyone professional and non-professional is putting in their 2 cents into this conversation and as the latter I feel the need to conform and add to the discussion.

They're sharks.

GoochyBandana · 7 months

MelissaMarie · 7 months

I went swimming with sharks for my birthday and just so happened to start my period... I'm still alive, so this ad is false! They were nurse sharks and didn't really give a shit that we were there either way.

I don't love that shark week. Just an FYI.

they don't work, see the water all around her?

Women, serious question here...

would it be possible for women to go for a swim (say in a public pool) without bleeding out during your period? if it is possible, please break down as to what to use, say tampons or pads etc., and how to use it.

bonus question, how does it feel to have sex during periods? would any of the men-woman feel differently, is it pleasurable? what is the aftermath, bloody bed, perhaps, but are they easy to clean? :|

ransomnator · 7 months

Did it work or not? Are the sharks swarming because of her failed tampax tampon? So many questions unanswered.

sunshinewalker13 · 7 months

That's not hilarious. That's horrifying.

FuchsiaGauge · 7 months

Is this still funny? And here I thought this was an outdated joke. :P

Pravusmentis · 7 months

Advertising on reddit has lost all shame hasn't it?

moneyfingers · 7 months

Really...that's hilarious?

skyylineddrive · 7 months

She'd still be fucked if those weren't nurse sharks.

WholeWideWorld · 7 months

They should bloody use this.

serpentjaguar · 7 months

This is funny unless you grew up surfing in the Red Triangle, in which case, great whites are no laughing matter. For those who know what I'm talking about, I earned my spurs originally as a Sonoma County kid surfing Bodega and parts both immediately north and south.

iBuzzKill · 7 months

i wouldn't say that's HILARIOUS by a long shot. a little witty at most.

Hail, Corporate!

So she's attracted all the sharks..

Erulastiel · 7 months

Girlfriend's reaction: "Brilliant. Too bad it doesn't work that well for me."

My response: ಠ_ಠ

wuzhanninbruh · 7 months

what is today? Promote P&G Products Day?

Teri928 · 7 months

I'll admit, it took me a little bit to figure it out...

dangeraardvark · 7 months

Oh... I get it.

SequenceofLetters · 7 months

Dude. Just thinking about that freaks the shit out of me. I don't care if those are harmless sharks.

PrincessoPower · 7 months

tampax is the last thing I'd use in that situation. Fucking crappy tampons from hell.

mike413 · 7 months

but look at all the sharks she attracted!

indiefilmsrme · 7 months

Subtle.

taylorkrebs · 7 months

Would also be a good condom ad.

Sharks scare the shit out of me. I almost had a heart attack.

Back story:

Bob and Julie wanted to go on vacation off the coast of Florida for the week. Sadly, Julie had an unwelcome visitor. Distressed with his wife's constant bitching, Bob devised a plan to be rid of her. Bob decided to take Julie on a snorkeling trip. Knowing Julie's monthly visitor would attract sand sharks, Bob let Julie go in first while he sat in the boat. Much to Bob's dismay, Julie was wearing Tampax.

Upvote if you were confused after seeing the picture and more confused after reading few top comments !!

PalermoJohn · 7 months

Hilarious in how it coldly plays on common fears in order to make your mind take note of the ad?

etrecheesecake · 7 months

My friends always called it "Shark week" anyway, hahaha.

greenymile · 7 months

they wont eat one of their own

ChybreGreen · 6 months

Honestly I don't know of a brand of tampon that doesn't leak. Not unless you want to risk getting TSS and/or a yeast infection and use a larger size then you need.

Also, tampons are OVERPRICED. Jesus God It makes me so mad!!

justmadethisaccountt · 7 months

It's funny because shes blind.

buhzie2 · 7 months

Clever. Maybe not hilarious, but I chuckled.

efischerSC2 · 7 months

Maybe it's just because I grew up watching Shark Week and they pushed this message very hard, but, I can not stand when sharks are used in advertising like this. It promotes an unnecessary fear of the animal, and I find it disgusting.

BioKemikal · 7 months

And that is why girls shouldnt surf.

hapy45 · 7 months

eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww

Ratatah · 7 months

This reminds me of a good insult. "Next time you have your period why don't you go jump in a shark tank."

roborasta · 7 months

This reminds me about when I was about 11 and my sister was 13, we went Myrtle Beach on a family vacation. She had never been to the ocean and she had her period that week. I fucked with her the whole ride there about how sharks were going to smell her and try to eat her. She never got more than knee deep in the ocean. Ahahahaha!

zrag123 · 7 months

I read somewhere that periods attract sharks and that they can smell the menstruation!

Those are Sand Tiger Sharks, also known as Grey Nurse Sharks and Ragged-Tooth Sharks. Although they look scary, their teeth are designed for catching fish and they would only attack a human if cornered with no way out.
