Inspirational Tampons

I'm going to the bathroom the other day and I look down at my tampon (still in the wrapper) and it says "Go for it!" Every month it seems like they change the damn tampon packaging and I can never find the ones I like best. This month I had tried some new "sport" tampons, which means they're basically the same but with different wrappers.... inspiration wrappers apparently. During the following days, I began to pay closer attention to the phrases, one of my other favorites being "You can do it!" 

I just don't understand why someone in their marketing department thought, "Hey, let's put motivational phrases on their tampons! That way, when the girl is tired and takes a bathroom break, we can encourage her to keep going!" I mean seriously, who would think of that? If this is going to become the new fad I want to see comedy tampons, with lewd jokes on the wrappers, or maybe devotional tampons with bible verses on them.

Tampons with period jokes, definitely. Or jokes about how men suck. Or pictures of children doing horrible things with the tagline "Aren't you glad you're on your period?"

How about fortune cookie tampons.
"You will receive an unexpected visitor."

Lol, "death and misfortune will soon come your way" Man if I saw that on my tampon, I'd kill myself!
