I am not one to typically share so publicly my personal monthly issues however I believe that you, Always Co., need some education regarding a woman's body.
Recently I went to the store and made my way down the most uncomfortable isle to walk down. Yes, the feminine hygiene product isle. I have enjoyed using Always products since your products were available. I have enjoyed your dry weave and of course the invention of the wings. However I am not as fond of your latest creation. I inadvertantly grabbed a package of Always pads for fat girls.
I only discovered this after I had used a few. At the moment of my discovery I was not in a huge hurry to get out the door or quickly take care of business before my little girls would come in and panic because I was bleeding. I opened my nice pad package - might I say thank you so much for decorating the product like a little present because it is every girl's dream to receive a sanitary napkin for her birthday- and I looked at the pad and thought, "Why in the hell is this so huge." The pad was as wide as a landing strip for a 747 (remember those wings). I then glanced at the package and noticed the 14+. Now I know this is not the recommended age for using this product because clearly young girls get their periods before 14 so I investigate further and notice it is for "plus size" females.
Now I have been thin and I have (am) "plus size" and I would like to assure you that the size of my coochie does not expand with my weight. In no way does my weight determind the width of my crotch area. Truth be told, there is actually less room in that area because my thighs rub together as a fat girl and did not as a thin girl. Furthermore it is hard enough to fit into my pants that I do not need to attempt to squeeze in a sumo wrestler pad in my pants as well. In fact I would almost have to say that the pads the school nurse provided when I was in Junior High, you know the ones that were 4 inches tall and a foot long that you had to safety pin to your panties, were more comfortable than your "plus size" pad.
I would also like to make one last comment on your advertising campaign - "Have a Happy Period!" Seriously! Have a happy period? An oxymoron if I have ever heard one! Happy. Period. Hmmm I have to say that I have never known even one woman (girl) who has had a "happy period".
Thank you for your time.
