This product calls for someone who can do the slow reveal to "j'taime".
Or maybe not.
Who started this, anyway???

I think that's the one i meant . Doh....
I so agree with you.
My mum never had anything explained to her either and ended up going down the aisle with a bump. My nan was so ashamed but my granddad told her off saying she should have told her the basics. My nan was still very prudish even when I came along as a very late surprise. If she knew I had my period she'd ban me from washing my hair or having a bath. Oh, the horror! I'm talking about the days of the Timotei ad (5x correcting autocorrect there!) when all us girls wanted to wash our lustrous locks in a barrel.
My mum wasn't very open but she didn't really get the chance as I started my periods aged 8. It was a shock for us both. My older sister took over then and explained in the most basic way what it was and how I was to manage them. I've written here about my experience with my unpleasant headmaster who used my embarrassment and refusal to get in the pool with the other kids as an excuse to hit me AFTER my sister and mum visited the school to explain what was going on.
Lack of communication also left me vulnerable to a man who took advantage of it and therefore me. I read so much in the press about young girls who have been exploited and my heart sinks every time. I always feel that in a lot of cases an open dialogue would prevent abusers like my ex from splitting the lamb from the flock. There are a lot of clever abusive men out there but girls (and boys) can be protected with the right kind of education. Knowledge is power.

Some (mentioning no names) have already phoned for help locating their vulva and to ask if, because it says on the FEWE Serum item page “work with your cycle”, you need a bike to get there.I’m also thinking of the poor stafff at the call centre … there will be some weird characters ringing no doubt !!!

And if "they" can't find it with all those torches at their disposal, what hope is there for the rest of us?
Sorry I’m from the Gemporia thread but had to see what this was all about. The Australian version of QVC, which is TVSN, started selling sexual health products about 6 months ago. It wasn’t advertised or shown on air, so someone must of been perusing the website to find it in the first place.
On the website there is a “just bought” tracker at the bottom of the page and all of a sudden vibrator images started to show up. The whole range is now on clearance sale. The demographic is female aged around 50-70 years, an interesting experiment. https://www.itvsn.com.au/category/22038

Welcome to the Dark Side. We are Gemporian-friendly on here.
Should I admit to being in that demographic and owning one (or maybe two) of those buzzy little things? And I was late to the game as most of my friends had already bought theirs years ago.
I wouldn't touch any of those 'toys' with someone else's bargepole, though. I'm the, erm, satisfied owner of a handy little thing that shares its name with a passionate dance that takes two to do.
I can't say I'd ever buy one from QVC, though. I don't think I'd risk getting someone's return.

My mum was absolutely appalled when Tracy Childs advertised the first panty liners to be “shower fresh.” She was in Howard’s Way at the time, a popular programme. Mum dreaded the advert coming on in between her favourite programmes and I felt uncomfortable for her with my two brothers. Now we have sanitary products advertised on the outside of a bus, I truly believe mum would choose to walk.
I remember the first liner ads coming on telly and saw my mum cringe, too.
I'm so glad times have changed and we can see adverts for products like these. No one should feel embarrassed by our bodily functions. They're not shameful. I feel like shouting that from the rooftops sometimes, especially when I read and hear of boys in school today calling the girls 'dirty' if they need a pass during lessons for a period leak. I remember those days but I was one of those bolshy girls who would embarrass the rest by toughing it out. If I had a stain on my skirt I'd wear it with pride. Having said that, we all seemed to manage our periods well enough that we could go to the loo between lessons or during breaks, But those bl**dy annoying times when I'd be caught out with it arriving early
. And also saying that, I think the boys were a lot better behaved back then, too. The sheer nastiness of many of the boys towards girls these days is incredible,I'm surprised to see ads for Viagra on daytime telly, though.

I remember when the first Tampax ads on TV. An older friend said it was disgusting.
My mum would not let me wear them, so I never learnt to swim as I always had a period when the class went to the swimmers.
Now women walk into Boots etc and just buy without thought sanitary products as a teen it was put in a brown paper bag and all very hush, hush.
I have said before, my granny would not let me wash my hair when I had my period. Also, I was told not to have a bath!

A friend of mine on her period couldn't have a bath, wash her hair and couldn't get anything out of the fridge!!!

I never watch ads these days, are they still using BLUE liquid to demonstrate the absorbancy?
They're brave enough to use red on pads these days but stick to blue for urinary incontinence products. If I had blue pee I'd be down the doc shop in a flash! Or think I was related to Spock. Which, for people who know me, would be more likely. I'm often accused of coming from another planet.
Are we related? I fought my mum hard to get her to allow me to buy tampons but I was 11 at the time and being pushed into using them. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I was being told I was a 'woman' but I really wasn't so mum was right all along. We definitely had the same grandmother!
I was lucky enough to have learned to swim very young but began having problems with school swimming when I started my periods at 8. I've mentioned here before that my headmaster, who was well aware of the situation, would hit me if I refused to get in the pool. I'd been caught out several times with either a period starting on the way to the pool on the bus or I'd be at the tail end of my period which would often last more than a week.
I think every woman here will identify with the me when I say the fear and shame of turning the pool red around me would keep me out of the pool despite the hammering the headmaster would give me in the changing room while all the other kids were in the pool. I'd actually be embarrassed that a man was in the girls' changing room! The shame - again with the shame thing - that I would feel for not just my biological function but for being hit repeatedly in the stomach and across the back by a bullying man who knew better was overwhelming. It certainly stopped me telling my mum what was happening. I think if I had she'd have gone to the school and given him a good dose of his medicine.
