Carefree
ad for panty pads, genital
washing liquid, and for
genital cleaning tissue
Germany, Brigitte magazine,
1991
Introduction
and
Left-hand page
Don't you think this ad is
simplicity
itself?
What more could you want?
Well, I don't know what you
could want but the
company wants another page
of detailed, dense
paragraphs. Just as
with a similar ad somewhere
on this site, the facing
page - below is the
left-hand page - seems
disconnected typographically
and by layout from the
commercial-looking page
below, maybe to trick the
reader into thinking that an
unbiased authority
recommends Carefree.
Below:
Amazingly, this
is one ad.
The right-hand page
dissociates itself in
lack of color, layout
and typographically
from the left-hand
page. Do you think
it's to deceive the
reader?
See the left-hand
page below and the
right-hand page,
translated, here.

The page measures 8 1/2 x 11"
(21.6 x 27.9 cm). |
Below,
my translation.

Carefree. Feel fresh and clean.
The whole day.
Left: Nature decides how
fresh a flower remains
throughout the day.
Right: A woman herself
decides how fresh she feels
during the day.
Carefree panty pads and genital
washing liquid and genital
cleaning tissue.
For the well-groomed woman.
Every day.
