I noticed an advertisement for pH tampons the other day and before I saw it I had never heard of the brand. The advertisement stated that during your period vaginal pH increases. Tampons retain the fluids that cause this pH to increase. I have never heard about any of this happening when I have my period. I still don't have a clue what pH is. This advertisement made me think about one of the first advertisements ever made, the one for pepsodent toothpaste. The company talked about film on your teeth and how the product was the only product to remove that, when in reality all toothpastes did, they were just the first to address the problem. It got me wondering if this type of tampon was the same sort of thing. Do all tampon products reduce pH levels or is this new brand really different? I'm not sure what to think but I am glad I learned about the history of advertising because now I know that some products can be pretending to be different when they are really not.
