Ad for Always
menstrual pads, The
Netherlands
In the instore magazine Dirk of the
supermarket chain
Dirk van den Broek
November 2015
Do you worry
about leaking menses? Always
always
has and so has
everyone else. After all, what's
menstrual protection
for?
But sometimes women have said,
The hell with it and just let loose!
There are many reasons but
here are a
few.
The woman holding her shoes
below wears white, the standard
ad
motif for See, it
doesn't leak!
The Dutch donor of the ad
commented,
As you can see
there is no more fall or
winter, it is always spring
or
summer. One of the girls has
no shoes! But November was
also one of the
warmest months here in
Europe.
Global warming?
