Tampon commercials can be hilarious. Especially when animals play a leading part. That they do, is logical. Pads and tampons are for your pussy or beaver, not? And you use them during shark week. Anyway, we have selected three to watch. Please let us know if you spot another one.

PUSSY An adhesive strip that sticks to the wrong places is extremely annoying. Advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather Advertising in Shanghai demonstrates this in the Chinese Kotex-commercial using tape and – uh – a pussy. Watch on Youtube.

SHARK This one is from a while back. But in Russia Tampax’ advertisement pretty much came down to this: use the wrong brand of tampons and you’ll be eaten by sharks! Watch on YouTube.

BEAVER According to this Australian Kotex-commercial you’ve got to take good care of your beaver (yes, a synonym for vagina) when you’re on your period. How? By using the best protection for Down Under. Watch on YouTube.
