'Insight while you menstruate'

Does anyone else find the Kotex¯ 'Tips for Life' written on the strip that peels off their menstrual pads a little, well, odd? On the one hand, I suppose it's better than wasting the space. For those of you not blessed with this yet, the tips are things like:
  • 'Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches.'
  • 'Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily to help keep you hydrated and feeling fresh.'
  • 'Staying active during your period can help relieve cramps.'


At the same time, as Dwana put it when I mentioned it to her (she's also responsible for the title quote): 'It's like having a fortune cookie.' And that's just a little weird when you just want to keep from bleeding on stuff.

I guess they figured we all look for reading material when we use the bathroom. :)

I sense an art project in this.
