I was looking on Amazon for some baby powder and ran across “Happy Nuts” powder (or cream) for men. Another ad had this description: “Friction Defense for Balls, Groin, Private Parts and Butt”. Truth in advertising, I guess.
Sounds like the commercials for Lume deodorant.
“Pits, privates, butt crack.”
A long, long time ago, when I was a Cadet at the Royal Military College of Canada we had a salmonella outbreak. And at the start, before I knew that there was an outbreak, I reported to the medic one morning and asked him what he could give me for a case of diarrhea. His reply: “How about five dollars? But seriously Sir, just joking and could you please list everything you ate for the last 48 hours?”
Perhaps in response to the Lume product, I’m seeing commercials for Secret brand “whole body” deodorant, though the commercials avoid saying exactly where it’s to be used.
I give you slingers. Seen quite often on CNN.
Special underwear for men with hammocks for their…well…balls.
The ad shows a pair with 2 eggs nestled in the hammock. And a beautiful hand model cradling underneath.
So cute.
Then the next ad was for Cadbury eggs. 
There was a magazine ad showing a female silouette. It highlighted the private area.
My first thought is, Really? They are trying to convince women they smell bad down there again?
Have you seen the ads for Secret Whole Body Deodorant? They’re incredibly unsubtle about where you can use it.
Here’s a long version I haven’t sen on TV:
In the short version I’ve seen, it starts out the same way, but at the end the Lady Gynecologist days something like “You can use it from your head to you…” …and it looks like she’s going to say “feet”, but then we cut to the self-confessed Stinky Lady from the start, and she’s spraying the stuff into the front of her pants held open.
This is an even shorter version:
The thing that gets me about that commercial is that the message seems to be that pubic hair is a natural part of being a woman, and is all around great, Yay girl power! But if that is the case then why are you bowing to the patriarchy by shaving them off. It seems a bad way to sell razors.
Haven’t followed thread, but surely this has been mentioned already, but if not:
Commercials may have finally hit rock bottom
Finally?
Shaving does make you feel clean. Of course, I always nick myself.
Not that I’m trying to defend that commercial, but I think the message is supposed to be self care your own way, shave, no shave, yay. But I guess it is weird that it’s a razor company.
On another note: I’ve become convinced lately that if we all took balance of nature, prevagen, washed it down with that green stuff, and finally guzzle down a big heapin’ glass of cow colostrum, we’d live forever, and not forget shit all the time. Of course we’d be much, much, poorer.
you haven’t lived until you heard pro wrestling legend Jim Cornette do a spot for manscaped personal care products in his podcast…although he is pretty crazy in all his “ads” if anyone wants to hear i think they’re on you tube i can link if ya want
That’s how I felt as a kid when I read that two of the most recognizable Americans were Madge the Palmolive spokes-manicurist (“You’re soaking in it”), and Mr. Whipple…
“Please don’t squeeze the Charmin!”
Better Mr Whipple than those damned bears.
Amen!
And now barely remembered; supplanted by Flo and Lily.
Dick Wilson, who played Mr. Whipple, has a pretty long list of credits on IMDb. I recognized him in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role in Our Man Flint. Made 504 commercial for Charmin, bomber pilot in WWII, married 68 years, lived to 91.
Nice work if you can get it.
I think we all have that. It’s called soap.
Wasn’t Madge the Wicked Witch?
No, but Margaret Hamilton did some ads for Maxwell House coffee. In a NYC subway, I saw a huge poster of her offering a cup, looking very witchy. Some unsung hero had scrawled under her: “How about some COFFEE, Scarecrow?”
There’s always going to be a lower bottom to ads.
At some point, a genius is going to come up with a universal system to bombard Internet users with smell-o-vision (excuse me, Olfactory Virtual Reality Technology), and the Stinky Lume Ladies will be even more dazzling. Sure, implementation is voluntary…for now.
