Things I'll never get

Such as designer pads.

The world is one hell of a Van Gogh painting at times. It's so easy to lose yourself in her sunsets or fall in love with her night skies, but at the same time what other people might see as art or paragon could just as easily be misinterpreted as trash or yuckity yuck yuck. Not everyone has to agree on one thing and this is what ultimately makes our universe so awesome...or not.

Sometimes aberrations in our society's opinions aren't always a good thing. Take serial killers for example, who - you know - view death as a work of art...very much so like Justin Bieber and his music.

Initially I was planning to rant about a long list of things that I didn't, don't, and probably would never get. Such as why we bother coming up with over the top fashion if it's only going to make us cringe at our graduation pics a decade later, why mosquitoes have to die, or Justin Bieber's brobdingnagian* rise to fame. (I mean, I get that he's amazingly talented and has a fetish for older women, but come on...even that can't explain the physically deteriorating effect he has on the brains of female tweens)

Or designer pads.

Now I'm about to do the exact opposite of what most paid bloggers do (which is endorse a product, receive more products from said company, endorse some more, earn the revenue, rinse wash and repeat.)

With all due respect, this is exactly what one of my friends does, so I know the biz. Her name is Everlyn (the hottie) and you can check out her blog here. Recently, she received a promoters package from Kotex about their latest product: Kotex Ultrathin Design Pads

Don't you love the couture look of these pads?

According to Kotex,

Using KOTEX® LUXE* Ultrathin Design Pads

can make you feel beautiful and stylish.

Ironically, this is one of things that really bug me. Granted, the aesthetic value was what made me want to rush out and buy a pack in the first place (Oooooh it's SO pretty!) But the longer I take to let the left side of my brain take control, the more turned off I get. Beautiful and stylish? Really? And because of something you put under your vagaygay? Sounds muchos dubious to me.

Then there's the fact that while you practically hear the pad's aesthetics slowly drip drip icky drip away, it's also burning a hole in your pocket. In way, I kind of feel like I'm buying branded lingerie. But unlike expensive underwear which can be shown off (To a lucky guy, envious friends, heck even a lucky girl if thats what floats your boat, I'm not judging), nothing, not even overpriced, superthin designer pads with 'assorted floral patterns' will look good after being drenched by an entire day's worth of blood, platelets, vaginal discharge and other nasty gunk which us women will have to bear for the rest of our lives in silence. So I highly doubt that anyones going to be going "ooh" and "ahh" over your pretty pads soon.

Anyhoo, thats just the way I see it. I don't get the functionality of designer pads or the practicality of their Earth killing packaging, but maybe that's just me. Like I said, everyone's entitled to their own opinion so don't let me or this post stop you from voicing yours. In the end, we're all just walking talking lawsuits waiting to happen.

*is actually a real word. But don't take mine for it, Google it.
