The not so invisible Libra invisible pads

libra-invisible-pads.JPGLibra Invisible pads are, well, not as invisible as their marketing pitch suggests. Take a look at a stack of copies of the latest issue of Shop Til You Drop in the photo. The invisible pads make the magazines difficult to stack. I wondered what was bulking up the magazines and was surprised to discover that it was a product called Invisible.

Now I am no expert when it comes to feminine products, but I would have thought that something called invisible would be, well, less visible than this Libra product.

I would not have noticed had they put two packs in – one at the top of the page and one at the bottom.

The alternative is that they could have the freebie behind the counter and we hand it out. Hmm, probably not.

It turns out that the folks at Libra like magazines as a means of promoting their Invisible pads – Shop Til you Drop is not the only title with a freebie. The latest issue of Cosmopolitan has Invisible visible as well.

Footnote: I was talking with a colleague in the office about this yesterday and her comment was that she would never use one of these products from inside a magazine.

    Hilarious observation mark. I don’t know why they give these away as freebies anyway.
