God imagine being that ad exec “okay so we need to make women think they need this. It’ll make everything a bit harder and they’ll be doing more chores and also we need to tell them that they’re not attuned enough to their bodies. We’ll need that by the end of product Dev.”

Like okay if la perla wants to send me some suggestions for shit I can do while wearing their product I’m cool with that because I support my romance-writing friends and I feel like it would be a paid gig for that copy Otherwise I do not want to hear life coaching from underwear

I’m fucking busy over here what with the kids and the work and the house and the pandemic and what I do not have time for is more fucking mindfulness and extra chores. And I am absolutely not doing my period wrong, I’m actually pretty practiced at it at this point after decades

I’m sure this is a perfect solution for some people and that’s great but it’s be just fucking dandy if they didn’t sell this shit as “you haven’t quite figured out how to woman have you? We can help WITH OUR NEW* PRODUCT! *by new we mean this has been standard for millennia”

Bring me the Alexa app that will remind me when I start crying at commercials that “everything is fine and in two days’ time all will be made clear,” now THAT would be innovation
