I haven't seen it, but have to say that the thought of it seems inappropriate. Is it on the regular network channels? I've noticed that there are commercials that I'll see on the cable channels but not CBS, NBC or ABC.

I saw it and I was horrified! I really kept thinking it must be a joke. So, so tacky and inappropriate!

I thought it was funny. Didn't bother me a bit.

Sort of funny, and maybe the 'younger' and less prudish generation might get a kick from it.

I hate it.

I agree both that it's in somewhat bad taste (there's much worse) and it is kind of funny, but more than anything it likely does a good job of selling their product. This is specifically an item designed for, um, shaving your bush! And they needed a way that wasn't actually indecent to show that.

There's an add for the lotion you're supposed to use afterwards with a drawing of bikini line razor bumps to go with it.

It's definitely memorable. And good to know if you're in the market for that sort of thing. I'm sure they will get a lot of sales from it.

Considering it's a product that it's marketed as a biking razor, I'd say it's totally appropriate. It doesn't bother me at all, though I do have a fairly distasteful sense of humor. I don't think it's anything spectacular though, but I don't find it offensive in the least. I'm wondering why you would find it degrading?

Disgusting. And yet, another sign of how "LOW" you can go to sell something, and how it probably it will grab up the market. Is there nothing any more that is improper?

There was a thread on this subject awhile back, TACKY commercials. There are so many these days it is impossible to watch with "family" present. Just one more indicator of how low we have sunk as a society. Private, intimate subjects are all now open to being broadcast. It makes me feel very defeated.

I seldom watch tv but I did get to see that commercial, I was actually shocked. Young women today are not very modest, you do realize that it's no big deal for them to go to a salon and have someone that is a perfect stranger, wax it all off? There is no way in h*!! I would ever have that done! I cannot imagine anything more embarrassing!

Definitely memorable and clever! I didn't think it was inappropriate or degrading.

While some of you think we've "sunk" as a society, I like to say we've become more open. Perhaps it's the age difference between myself and some of you, but I can pretty much talk about anything.

I don't really watch TV much so I had to Google it. Not offensive at all. I found it humorous.

I'm 75 years old and I did not find it offensive. I wouldn't do it, but my daughters and granddaughter probably would.

I had to go to YouTube to find the ad as we don't have it over here. I thought it was cute and clever! I would be quite relaxed to see it on tv no matter who was in the room with me. It is hard for me to understand why some people are so offended by it.

I guess there is just nothing "private" anymore. Some people are ok with that and some are not. I am in the "not" camp.

I don't think it's any different than ads for toothpaste, deodorant, tampons, soap or other personal hygiene products.

Why shave it in the first place.? Stubble would hurt, don'tcha think? Lol

I'm the least prudish 76 year old you will ever find and I still think it is a distasteful commercial. I read that the one in England is even worse. I don't think it is family friendly and many others are not either. Edited to make the 75 into 76...LOL

Someone who is prudish finds the mention of personal or sexual matters to be shocking, uncomfortable, improper, in bad taste, etc. You've contradicted yourself with your comment, in my view.

Susan, women shave or wax for many reason and despite being a proponent of keeping things natural for health reasons, some taming is necessary if you wear a bathensuit. Hence the reason the girls were in a bikini.

I checked it out on You Tube and I think it's cute. I would think it would go over the heads of younger kids. What I'm wondering is how many young girls will strive for the "thigh-gap" that they all had. This is a real desire, and un-achievable.

Guess I wouldn't want to walk in the shoes of those who find this commercial distasteful, disgusting, shocking, improper or who are generally offended by it, as they must be totally uncomfortable living in today's generation.

don't know about that one, but I've gotten really burned out on hearing about catheters.

Sylvia, what on earth could commercials be talking about catheters? I can't even imagine what the topic would be, being discussed.

I wonder if it comes with instructions about how to create a heart design in it....LMAO!

LOL! Maybe a stencil?

Jasdip, In the USA there are medical device supply companies that advertise direct delivery because they're allowed to accept governmental insurance (specifically, Medicare). They want people to know that this service is available and won't cost them extra, or provides a discount. For people who need them, these services can be a blessing. There was one, though, which described the differences between four or five different kinds of catheters in terms of initiating their use. It was informational, but I am a visual thinker, so hearing the whole thing was a bit much for me. :) There are similar companies that advertise delivery of diabetic testing supplies, etc.

Instead of whining on a message board such as this, why not phone, write, email (or maybe even go so far as to picket outside the offender's offices) if you are so opposed to what you view as a particularly distasteful commercial. Then again, maybe you are just trying to get a consensus so you'll have research and backup comments when/if you decide to take a course of action. If this is the case, then kudos to you for doing something positive.

Here's one that never aired in prime time ; not a real product, but kind of established a precedent for things to come.

Warning.....NOT FOR THOSE EASILY OFFENDED. ;-)

jasdip, there's one where a crusty old guy, in cowboy hat & belt with big buckle, drawls about how many years he was a working cowboy, how much physical damage he sustained (injuries, broken bones), & how he now uses catheters & there's this one kind that's easy to use & doesn't hurt.

It's on the same order as the diabetic testing devices that don't prick the skin, & I can see the need, but...

hearing people talk about catheters just makes me cringe. or gag. sometimes one, sometimes the other.

Yikes! I don't want to hear any commercials about catheters!

Going with hubby to his 6-month checkups, since this was prostate surgery, in the waiting room there are men with catheters. There's always one who wears shorts with his catheter strapped to the calf of his leg! Well, you know what that looks like! Gag.
