I really don’t see what the big deal is, all females must use some form of “feminine product” (if you will), why not spice up the commercials with some dirty humor. A few of these new commercials are absolutely hysterical. From mistaking the new compact tampons with sugar packets or candy, companies have found a way to market a product with a serious job, by using a humorous cover.
I understand that men can especially get offended over the topic of feminine needs and/or feminine products, but shouldn’t this joking manner allow people to loosen up a bit rather than making this serious matter tough to deal with?
These days our generation has become a more free, open-minded society, much like that of our parent’s time. These ads were obviously made to make the serious subject lighter, yet for some reason, they have had the reverse effect on some people.

It is the typical high school situation where a student is caught passing something to a friend. The silly teacher thinks it’s candy-hysterical!
