Have you seen the new U tampons ad? No? watch it, we’ll wait.
So are you sitting there with your mouth open a little thinking…is that really what I think it is? *blink*Went searching for the site to hopefully find the ad to show friends. Mmmm found the ad on the site, and some other interesting info.
Did you know? According to the U website, 94% of women use a word other than vagina when referring to their…vagina. Words such as..Va-jayjay (thank Oprah for that one), Map of Tassie, Hilary Muff and of course beaver, among others..they have a whole list of them WTF? Seriously girls, do you really? I must say I am in 6% who do not. Do you all take your beaver out for a manicure too :O Where do they conduct these polls? Approach people in the supermarket to ask them what they call their girly bits?
Kelley, also a great video on there for your mum. You should SO get her one of those puppets for Mother’s Day!

Bwaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa!!!!!
I watched them both with Moo. Then i turned to her and said ‘Want a mirror?’ and we both rolled around laughing.
And yes, we had that talk a long time ago. Pity my Nanna didn’t with my mum

OMG @ that ad. Nothing is sacred anymore!
Also part of the 6% who uses vagina. When my big girls were in kinder, I was hauled up to the school and reprimanded for having a child that said vagina! True. I don’t know what they wanted me to teach the kids? Some smarmy cutesy name? No way. We do shorten it for the toddlers atm though…to giny
tiff’s last blog post..I went to see a friend today?
omg pwhahahahaah what a laugh
Tina’s last blog post..Got Smelly containers?
Am I the only one that thinks the term va-jayjay is worse than the name vagina? Just call it what it is called people. We all know what you are talking about. Just use the damn name.
Riayn’s last blog post..Blogging From The Living Room
LOL - obviously I haven’t got to my reader today
Seems we’re on the same page about this one 
I grew up in a medical household, so everything was given its anatomically correct name. Even my DH said “WTF - are those guys on drugs”?
Still, they’ve got us talking about it - so that has to be effective advertising…
Meg’s last blog post..Nice Beaver!?
Kelley- Why bother having the talk with kids these days, when you can just direct them to you tube and they can get well edumacted on all that stuff.
Tiff- That is terrible, how on earth can a child in trouble for using the correct term for a female body part?
Riayn- I agree, vajayjay is just nasty..probably worse than all the others. Well apart form the *c* word, which would have to be the most disgusting word ever.
Meg- I think that is the whole point of the campaign, on their site and posting on youtube. They want people to be a little :O and talk about it. God I hope they don’t do another with a cat in it *blink*
hehe I still have a giggle reading that heading.
We use the correct names here too (well, except I suppose vagina isn’t technically 100% correct but I think probably more widely accepted than vulva …). It never occurred to me to do otherwise :dk: Not sure I could come up with a cutesy name that wouldn’t make me vomit and or laugh …
naomi’s last blog post..this education was brought to you by youtube
I haven’t watched the video. I don’t want to know. I think pet names are just stupid. We use the correct terminology with our kids. Okay, I use the correct terminology with our kids. DH just doesn’t want to know about ANY of it.
Lightening’s last blog post..The Challenge
I love it! I am one of the majority of people who name their…clucker. I love the beaver, he’s so cute, I want one!
Although perhaps instead of a getting a manicure together, they should have got a leg wax!
Just a point from Grays Anatomy (not the TV soap, the book): Vagina actually refers to the envagination of a womans body where she puts a tampon, amongst other things, while the part most would point to as a “beaver” is properly called “Mons Veneris” or “Mons Pubis” - that’s where the hair grows, or not, depending on how old she is and how high she shaves.
I’n with CapDan - the word vagina is used wrongly in a lot of cases, but then it is so hard to find a single word to name the whole of the female genitalia. We use the word ‘Vulva’ with our girls… well we tried to. One day I was trying to get DH over his issues with saying the words vagina and vulva and in exasperation I said ‘Just say it loudly three times - VULVA VULVA VULVA’ to which my then 2 year old danced around the house singing ‘Volvo Volvo Volvo” So for ever more girly bits in our house will be called a ‘Volvo’ ROFL
Just Stumbled upon this page…Hello Leigh!!
P.S. Video is dead
Thanks Arnold, didn’t realise the vid had died. Have fixed it up now
I laughed because it was a stupid advert.
I mean the nail painting, hairdresser, going out for coffee and tanning - it’s a ridicules ad.
I found it offensive, first of all most women I know have only one name and that’s vagina. Second of all it seems a bit strange that the whole slogan is look after your beaver …
when they went around surveying women randomly - do women not look after themselves down there?!
This ad is made by men I think and I find it offensive.
