Bring Back the Old Tampax

March 11th, 2008, 7 Comments »

Now here’s a cause I can get behind. Apparently Tampax recently re-architected their tampon, and Airdrie isn’t happy. Here’s an illustrative photo of the old and new model side-by-side. I can’t imagine why she didn’t dye the water blue, as in every feminine hygiene commercial I’ve ever seen.

Airdrie started a lobby group on Facebook to ‘New Coke’ Tampax, and invited me. If she’s successful, maybe they’ll release the old model as ‘Classic Tampax’.

I’m not what you’d call a heavy tampon user (insert off-colour joke here), but I’m always glad to support a little consumer advocacy. Fight the power, and so forth.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention the online petition that you should sign.
