Ad for Brevia Confetti
menstrual tampons & panty pads
(pantiliners)
(13 June 1988, Kimberly-Clark Corp., in Elle
magazine, France)
|

My translation of the
tampon text:
Confetti, my new
tampon. It's fun with its small
package in rose candy, yellow fruit,
green menthol and mauve colors. My
tampon Confetti is reliable. It's
made of natural fibers, soft and
absorbent. Thanks to its rounded
end, it positions itself easily
without an applicator. Completely
soft, completely white and totally
sweet [!]. Confetti, it's my
little bit of silliness. Mine.
[See a British ad about tampon roundness,
comparing it to a penis.]

My translation of the
pantyliner ad:
With their sour
motif, rose candy, yellow fruit,
green menthol and mauve, the
panty-pads Confetti are the little
bit of silliness in my underpants. [!]
For an American, this
text almost defies comment.
