 Posted: 11/21/05 - 01:20 Post subject: Wrong on many levels (WARNING: Feminine Thread)
I go to Wal-Mart this evening to buy female sanitary products.
I've used these products for over 20 years. I can safely say I've used the same brand/type for the last 10 years. They're the kind of thing you find a brand and stick with. You know?
I'm standing at the aisle and I'm horribly confused. I can't find my brand. I can't even find another brand vaguely resembling what I normally buy. Not for either type product. I stood there for at least 10 minutes trying to figure it out. The DH was with me and tried to help. FINALLY, we found what I needed. The packaging changed.
There is something wrong with the marketing of a product when a woman who has been using your product for AN ENTIRE DECADE can't find it, has to have her HUSBAND who is MAN who has NEVER used this product try and help her find it, only to stumble upon it by accident.
The world has gone to hell. It truly has.

I think the lovely and talented Mrs Prohemp uses the same product (regardless I had the same experience) A week ago I was dispatched to the store to find same, using a manufacturers coupon as my guide it took me awhile to positively ID the product - why? the packaging had switched from mostly blue to mostly white

Thankfully the only time I am dispatched to the store by my lovely bride, is for chocolate or water ice, for which I am happy to comply.

okay, if this many of us are buying the #%*$ things, do they really need to remarket them? Besides, its not something I tend to buy because of the outer appearance anyway, lets be real.

The repackaging is just a distraction to the fact that they also down sized and give you like 38 now instead of 40.
