Funny British ad
but not for menstrual pads or tampons

I leave the menstrual shores to show the pervasiveness of humor - it's strong stuff! - in some British publications. The ad below is on the reverse of the left page of the Dr. White's tampon ad for June 1987.

See a 3-D Dr White's ad and an ad contest for Dr White's. More humor in advertising: Simplicity Freedom ads
