Of late, I've noticed a real increase in the graphic nature of these adverts.

First they stated appearing on You Tube but are now on main stream TV. Gone are the days of women rolling around on skates and with demo of blue colored water. Oh no, now they are graph and use words such as 'sticky discharge' and 'odor.'

There is even a 'Flow Forecast' using the word 'heavy downpour'

But why?? why have they changed to be so graphic and indepth.

Because it's probably far more useful to a woman to know how absorbing a product is or how well it covers odours, rather than if they can go and roller skate with friends wearing white shorts.

It's not really 'graphic' is it? It's reality. It's just that the approach and wording used up to now has been childish and patronising. Even the recent request by the England team to not have white shorts was reported without actually describing the issue properly.

It’s specifically and entirely to upset you.

Tell me you're not married to a woman without telling me you are not married to a woman.

Once you live with one, no advert is going to seem graphic.

As above - the adverts are now actually providing some useful info for the target market and about time too.

Watching afternoon TV in the rain here, wife and I count four types of adverts . Funeral plans, women's sanitary products, mens irrectile disfunction treatment and life insurance. I think this covers life fully.

Editing my own post there is another frequently shown advert for pads to absorb urine , whilst gardening or laughing, or both.

We are quite pleased we only scored three of the possible five .

Perhaps they should only show these adverts once a month.

The guidelines on what's acceptable and not changes constantly. OfCom control this and the changes aren't abstract but the result of periodic research amongst the general public.

You might have noticed that nappy and bog roll ads now quite openly refer to 'poo' and 'bums' and even actually going to the loo. Previously, you could only infer these things.

I wonder what would be said if someone produced and marketed a product to control Smegma?
