Sometimes I Like to Post About Unusual Beauty…..

I’ve posted a lot of different beauty most unusual posts that have made people laugh, outraged some, and perhaps left others speechless. A few years ago, I wrote a post about washable maxi pads that sparked some great conversation. Yeah, sure maxi pads probably aren’t quite beauty related but it fit right into the beauty most unusual topic of conversation.

Today, just for fun, I’d like to discuss maxi pads again.

This particular maxi pad.

I wish my local Sam’s Club had this wonderment available because I’d buy it. I mean think of the possibilities of the way you could promote this thing. Super absorbent, lightweight, soft and flexible, moves with your body….!

I mean really, is this real life?

I have no words but sometimes words aren’t really needed are they?

Enjoy, have fun with this one.

    I’m DYING omg. They even have the mysterious blue liquid on it! ><

    I'm six feet tall and heavy, do they make an overnight version? 😛

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL this is obviously perfect for heavy flows and night wearing!

  • Jules

    Hahaha. I’m guessing a man must have designed that one! They even got the exact shade of maxipad commercial blue. It for some reason is reminding me of MaxiThins… remember those? They had some weird gel inside, and were my pad of choice until Always waltzed in with their magic wings. Also, how awful were those old school, brick shaped Stayfrees?

    Apparently, I had a lot of things to say about maxipads. Thank you for the opportunity.

    • Isabella Muse

      amen my thoughts exactly! Omg those Stayfrees, that was like my grandmother’s pad of choice lol! Not to mention they still make those, not StayFree but any generic brand still has those odd brick shaped pads that are thick as hell. It’s like really, I’m not hemorrhaging here I’m just having my period. LOL Jules thank you for the wonderful comment!

      • Jules

        No problem, haha. Thanks for having weird, wonderful topics to discuss! For me, it’s really what sets you apart. Keeps things fun!

        • Isabella Muse

          I’m so damn glad you feel that way haha 😀 Makeup is great but discussing something as hysterical as this is always refreshing! <3!

    • Erin

      I have had four experiences as an adult with those huge things: after cervical biopsies and after getting an IUD inserted. I felt like an awkward teenager all over again! LOL

  • kjh

    Too bloody funny, no pun intended. That whole industry’s ad mentality is like, well, smoke some weed and just crack up. Somebody ought to do pads through the ages. TBH, my mum was born and started the curse before pad invention, so it’d be a pretty short hx of pads. Use this one in your womb shaped pool. Actually, very glad that product is in the rear view mirror.

  • Christina D.

    You are too funny! I’m surprised it doesn’t come with wings a/k/a cup holders. Maybe a tampon foot rest?

    This is going to look lovely once something spills on it.

    • Isabella Muse

      kool aid…lol! a kool aid spill would be perfect! ;-D

  • blee

    Hummm, before the disposable (to be used once then thrown away) there was reusable. I still have some of the ones that I got that my doc said to try. And my mom used to wash cloth diapers in the toilet ( to get rid of the flushables :D)then wash them in hot water and bleach in the wash machine. I’m glad that they had made disposable diapers when I had little ones. 🙂

  • Laura Spear

    OMG this is a fantastic way to chase boys out of the pool >:D

    …its ok to be a little evil, right? 😀

  • Christina

    OMG! HAHA! It took me a while to figure out what exactly I was looking at other than a maxi pad. I don’t know how I’d react if I saw this in one of my local stores.

  • andigrif

    Ah that is amazingly weird, I really wonder if it was on purpose or not! I would have laughed like crazy if I saw it in the store!

    Weirdly, I was just having a conversation about pads and advertising. You know those commercials that show you on a water slide or skateboarding saying that’s what life is like on your period – Not my life LOL. Then, when I was shopping the other day I was thinking about how Always really cornered the market by their wing design, before them it was Stayfee and Kotex, now I think you’re hard pressed to find either in a store. Of course we’ll see what happens because we are going back to the reusable idea with all those new ‘no-leak’ underwear that are available with Knixwear (?) and other brands.

    • Isabella Muse

      lol! I just want to lay in bed, groan, and watch netflix when I’m having my period. Those commercials should be sued for false advertisement!

    • Robin

      Let’s try this again. Not sure why the link got weird.

      5.0 out of 5 starsAre You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
      Byjennavvon June 30, 2017
      Remember the confusing commercials of your youth: hourglass shaped objects, blue liquid being poured into them? Smiling women in white dresses and long gloves? Now you can relive the 80s in the most spectacular swimming statement there is. I suggest you float on one of these as you read your dogeared copy of “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” Pop some pamprin, dive in. You will be so dry, and so comfortable on your float.

      5.0 out of 5 starsAlways wanted a giant pantyliner!
      ByWendy Lashbrookon July 3, 2017
      The adhesive strip on the back can be used either to keep your pool float secured to your beach chair, or to prevent you from falling off the float if you doze off! Perfect with that hot red one-piece! Nice to know you don’t have any women on your design team or in your focus groups!

      5.0 out of 5 starsFinally, a product designed for women
      ByRandion July 1, 2017
      Because who wouldn’t want to hang at the pool on a giant menstrual pad? You wind up with the entire pool to yourself, which is bonus. I was, however, disappointed that it didn’t work like all the commercials and stay dry on top. Then I realized I had launched it upside down; how embarrassing that I exited the pool with it attached to my back via the handy length of stickum tape. Just make sure you hang onto the peel off backing or you’ll wind up with it glued to whatever you lay it down on. Perfect for any day of the month.

      5.0 out of 5 starsAt long last – a solution for soaking up all that moisture out of my pool!
      ByLS1866on July 3, 2017
      This product is the perfect solution for your monthly pool cleaning needs! It’s extra-absorbent and especially effective at soaking up large containers full of blue liquid. The pad’s giant size will ensure that no fluids are left behind. Use is easy – just toss one in each day and let the pad do its work. Be prepared to buy 3-4 of them though if you want this product to be fully effective.

    Wow! Was that purposeful? I mean, reclaim the bleed, I guess, but… the woman or man who can just float on that is a soul secure in themselves!

  • wendy

    oh I don’t need those anymore, always a day late and a dollar short ROFL

  • Ashe

    I honestly thought that it was one of those life-size models and it was for an actual big box of pads. I love this.

  • Chris

    I don’t know what to say! I’m laughing too hard at all the comments and those Amazon reviews! Poor husband I showed it to him and he said, a tampon? I said no, a Maxi Pad!

    I guess there is a market for them! Haha!
