“How life looks” during your period isn’t always the woman’s choice and isn’t always about tampons. Menstruation comes with more than just blood flow; for some women, that’s the least significant symptom. Some women can’t even stand up during their periods.
If protection from leaks is your most pressing concern, consider that not all women can wear or afford tampons. Or certain tampons.
I think it’s really obnoxious for tampon commercials to act like “the right tampon” is within reach for all women and solves every woman’s menstrual issues. I sense some clueless men behind these scripts.
