If Tampon Ads Were Honest (Also Maxi Pads & Other "Feminine Products") 

Soooooo accurate😂😂😂😂 but how does he even know that feeling lolol

Hahaha...finally, a man who understands!

jellyfish are actually quite crunchy and kind of hard

Im a statistic honestly I never found a better way to describe it

Riiiiiight??? Lololololol!!!

Also, I applaud you for talking about the dangerous carcinogen Dioxin that is in almost all female products. I have endometriosis and I’ve never realized how many women had no idea about Dioxin

Well it's not wrong

And yet surprisingly accurate.

What's For Din'? That shit happens after you have a baby tho...lol

What's For Din'? I know right

It is however a lie. The UK standard VAT applied to all hygiene products is 20%. Apart from those like 'feminine hygiene products' which attract the discretionary tax rate - or luxury tax rate, or alternatively the "lower tax rate' of 5%. So you want to quadruple the tax added to your products? Or just STFU and pay the 5% instead of 20%. I will go for the latter, but it is your call. A much larger reason for insanely high prices is the marketing budget, including expensive TV advertising campaigns to encourage gullible women to buy the branded product with some alleged advantage or gimmick for what is essentially packaged wood-pulp - rather than the drab box of off-brand alternatives which cost less than a quarter (and thus also attract less than a 16th of the standard rate tax you could be paying). You don't need to pay for adverts for a blood absorbing thing you stick up/on your hoo-ha as needed. That is the company scamming you into buying their product, by lying to you and making it more expensive by the cost of the lie, plus a bunch of extra greed, because they can attract market share with packaging and catchphrases.

Not a lie. In the U.S. we DO pay luxury taxes on them!

@@user-jy3zl2vp4b The taxation is at base state sales tax, or exempt in every state. Your claim of 'special' higher rates for tampons is a lie or weasel words specifically chosen to be misleading.

@@gracesprocket7340 It's not a lie, many countries tax them like non essential products.

@@lovepilie Yes, Standard rate sales taxes, like on essential toilet paper. Your shading of the truth is a bold faced lie. Always has been.

paul the deceiver Some do. It really depends on the individual and sometimes the specific menstruation. Typically, I don’t like being touched anyways, so when I’m on my period it resonates a hell of a lot louder. Basically, I turn into Kuzco for 3-5.

Because they get less ads because they sell less. You buy one. That's around like 20 bucks. And you can use it for a hella long time. Unlike pads or tampons. They don't make as much money.

Are you serious, what is this a video game QTE where the reward for getting the timing exactly right is survival?? I havent been able to successfully try tampons yet and have stuck with pads all these years and what I learned in the video was enough to put me off ever trying again, but this has me determined to spread the word to every woman I know, these things arent fucking safe and it took a Cracked video to find out

TSS is definitely a risk anytime you have something in your vagina for hours at a time. Menstrual pads and cups have a much lower (but of course not zero) risk of TSS. They are safer overall with way more absorbancy. Most people can go 12 hours wearing a disc. It’s a life changer. No one solution works for everyone, but if you can try a cup or disc you might be surprised.

just dont wear them. wear a pad instead. then you wont ever have that issue

too bad we only got tampons and pads as an option. I mean we can't go without and there's no other alternative

@ilovepdub this is where menstrual cups come in! Safer, more comfortable, discrete, can wear for up to 12 hours (depending on flow). I've never looked back. There's a small learning curve when you first use one, and emptying them can be messy if you're not careful (always do so in a bathroom with a sink!) but it's hand on heart been a gamechanger for me

and diaper sticks!

@@jbird4478 While it was recommended that women stay home, the vast majority of them would not have been in financial situations that would allow it. Of course, I don’t know how far back you’re going here, so if you’re referring to some time in the 20th century, my knowledge on the practices around menstruation is pretty weak, so you’re probably right in that case.

Me either! I thought I was the only one who wore pads. All of my friends use tampons.

TayToria did you watch the birth control one? priceless

As a sensible person, those commercials are made to appeal to females and they work. Either you are thankful for them bullshitting in your name, or you can't accept that most women aren't like you.

Lesbian Amazon Sister. It's called common sense, no need for authority here. But let me demonstrate this to you. "Who buys those products"? Second. "Who makes a choice to which product to buy?" Thirdly. "Who uses those products?" And lastly, as the answers are all women, well, considering companies that made real blood and grumpy people advertisements didn't outpaced their competition, turning real blood and grumpy people advertisements a must in order to compete with the market then I and everyone else can safely assume these advertisements were made for women.

lloydgush as a sensible and a hopefully person I believe that smart people like you and me will take away a very powerful message from this video..I personally look at it as an enlightening video.. I will work towards improving the tampon, sanitary pad and baby diaper situation..coz we can do better for our sons and daughters rather than wasting our time and energy 'bullshiting'😇

Period!!!!

earth ocean It is a myth that deoxygenated blood is blue; all blood in the human body is red. Don't believe me look it up

earth ocean hemoglobin is red due to the oxidation of iron in red blood cells. Even veinous blood (blood returning to the heart/lungs) is still red.

That blue fluid always made me remember JD and Veronica killing Heather Chandler. Well, at leats that scene have more red than the commercials

earth ocean nope. It's a myth. Blood is red due to presence of haemoglobin

Exactly. We just want to be as comfortable as possible and not make a mess. Thanks bro

It can also be difficult if you have a parent who looks down on using tampons because you're young and they feel it impacts virginity. So, you get stuck having to wear a big pad. When I was a kid, pads were huge, you could see them through pants. You also risk them leaking. So all day, you're paranoid, feel gross and keep a sweater to tie around your waist. Another thing is if the pH balance is off, the blood can have a burning sensation.

Exactly.

I could not find any evidence that menstrual items are taxed as luxury items anywhere in the united states. To be fair i did not check other countries, so they may be referring to a country they are not based in. Menstrual items are taxed at either the default sales tax rate or not taxed at all depending on the state.

Darryl Jack The world is fucked up. Tax in general sucks. We all pay to wipe our asses and own things.

you don't know that, because tampons, in fact, are not taxed as luxury items anywhere in the western world. this is a feminist myth that simply will not die.

True

Well I guess that's better than thinking that your mom is getting them because they are one time use shoe inserts for her bad feet. ( childhood me didnt somehow connect them to the commercials or never saw the commercials and thought the pads where shaped like insoles for feet).

@@bookwermofthefandoms - They scream. Oh, all the screaming! It's terrible.

Women also have to wear pads for peeing themselves too. I haven't had children and tbh all of it looks horrible, you spend years having a visitor who never turns up on time and makes themselves right at home creating misery. Then go through child birth which looks actually fucking horrifically agonising. Then your pelvic floor is fucked so you piss yourself when you stand, laugh, cough, run or any other activity that is slightly exhorting. Then your visitor fucks off and that's a whole kettle of fish in itself. Womanhood is pretty shit 😂😂

Kate H touch your pad and tell me your finger doesn’t get blood on it, there not that food

Rebekah M well yes of course you're gonna have blood on your finger...........there's blood on the pad........it's just absorbed

Kate, ever have a heavy flow? Wet the second that f+++++ goes on. I have a prolapse and sadly tampons no longer do their job so I gotta go back to the diaper sticker. And it isn't all bad, now that I am approaching menopause I can finally understand you pov. But most women will eye roll u. Because a jelly fish just globbed out of them. ☮️

Then you never passed giant amounts of jelly fish clots. No absorbing those delightful, jiggling exploding bombs. Menopause is a relief!

Hmm ohh (I'm just 13)

It's taxed as a luxury item in the United States

What the hell?! Why???

In Australia they incur a 10% Goods and Services Tax because they are considered a non-essential item.

Okay, to ACTUALLY answer this: no, tampons do not have luxury tax. It's just a thing some people made up so that they could get people to complain about the government, and some other people (eg: Cracked) believed them because they want reasons to complain about the government. I'm going to reiterate what I've said many times before: Cracked writers get very, very stupid when the topics of feminism or sexism come up.

Oh, and I mean they don't have a luxury tax anywhere. Not America, not EU, not anywhere.
