Mum's the word: What's wrong with talking about tampons and periods? 
Alison Curtis

Last week, a Tampax ad was banned in Ireland by the ASAI, the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland because the authority accepted it caused widespread offence.

In case you don’t know the contents of the ad, as it wasn’t re-aired after 84 people made a complaint to the ASAI and it was removed, the ad features a talk show host and a guest on a show called Tampons & Tea. The host is asking her audience how many of them ever feel their tampon and goes on to show how to insert a tampon correctly.
