Quietest Pouch my ass
An unnamed feminine hygiene product company (they don't even deserve any form of advertisement) claims that their packaging makes no sound when being opened. I'd heard about and seen this before, and always ridiculed it for being the dumbest marketing ploy ever.
Why is it the dumbest marketing ploy ever? Just think about it: Pads, being what they are, probably would never be opened anywhere but in a bathroom. Do you ever see any girls changing their pads in a lecture hall? In a library? In a movie theater? (I hope not.) WHERE would it be necessary to avoid making any sound? In a public restroom, when there's someone in the stall next to you? You would most likely be in the women's restroom, where everyone will get/gets/used to get their periods. WHO do you need to hide this from? Even in the event that you're one of those women who feel embarrassed about acknowledging the menstrual cycle in any way around men, you wouldn't have to worry about it. So WHY would the average Jane, neither superspy nor female ninja, need a Quietest Pouch?
I bought a pack the other day because they were on sale and therefore the cheapest option within reason (i.e., without getting into the range of diapers and/or unreliable pieces of paper). The packaging, as you can see, is made of somewhat gauzy (gauze-y?) material. So I opened it up—and announced to everyone on Flickr that I am currently on my period; oh well—and guess what?
IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PAD-PACKAGING THAT I'VE EVER OPENED.
The End.
