Tsubasa & Elis Napkins
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | 52 Comments 
Actually put something else on besides sweats after work today… 
Ran out to get some quick dinner… started to rain soon after 
Skull Tank - Victoria’s Secret Pants (white/blue striped) - H&M Pink Tank - unknown Ribbon Flip Flops - Donki (ドン キホーテ) Rucksack - WC Frames - Urban Outfitters
We got Popeye’s Chicken. 
I haven’t had them in a really, really long time but Mike suggested some indulgent fast food 
since I was having such a crappy day! I was happy to see Popeye’s now lists the calories of every menu item up on the big order board!!!! AMAZING! thank you, thank you Popeye’s
I was having, really, just another crappy day. 
A repeat of Monday. I got home and was wrapped up in a pretty boisterous pity party when I spotted a package from my friend!
YAAAY! 
She had mentioned she was sending a little something to me this week. 
The left one will be a new try for me!
The edamame flavor chips~~ these were REALLY GOOD as most soybean flavored chips are. 
益若つばさ×エリス
Maxi pads!
They feature a shadow cut-out of Tsubasa on the packaging.
HAAAAHAHAHAAA!
It’s so random she sent me these! I was already telling Mike I was gonna buy these when we go! I think it’s hilarious & cute! 
I’ve even been looking at the maxi pads that the Japanese market by me sells because they sell Elis brand too and I was hoping they’d get in these collaboration ones by chance!!
My friend is on the same wacky wavelength as me, and I love that! 
These made my day, I love her so much
Tsubasa mentioned this collab back in March here on her blog.
I really liked the idea. I know it might seem like a sorta pointless collab, but WHY AREN’T these products dolled up and made cute already!? 
I mean, what’s so wrong with wanting a quite UN-CUTE part of womanhood to be girlie’d up with vivid colors and designs???!!
Strangely enough, soon after I saw the collab stuff I received a free sample of a new product line from Kotex in the mail. Their new “U” line features brightly colored lady products! 
It worked b/c I actually went out & switched brands on a few things I buy *cough* haahaa! You can request to receive free samples too!
I think you have to have a sense of humor about these things~ it’s not the dark ages anymore and it shouldn’t be something seen as embarrassing~~~!! Besides~ who likes being serious ALL THE TIME Who would have thought I’d be posting pictures of maxi pads all over my blog~~!! HAH! :haha:

OMG I LOVE THE CUTE DESIGNS! LOL
i’m about to request a sample from kotax myself! haha thanks for the link~~
You’re welcomed!
haha yeh that’s pretty random…
the design is really cute i admit, i wonder if they’re good to use though…
and i wonder if they have a nice scent to them (they sell scented ones in my local supermarket xD) yeh pretty random.
well… atleast Tsu-chan is making more money, that’s a plus ( ^ ^ )
ohhh and i love your braided bangs Jenny! =D
Nah, they’re unscented. And yea, Tsu-chan definitely bringing the little one’s college fund money!
ohh ahahah i have the same pants as you do!!
and those pads are the most hilarious things ever!
Are you excited to go to Japan? did you save up a lot of money? what is the cheapest way to get there (if you know)? I’ve been really looking around cause i want to go for my birthday, but i think that’s too close. (in october) . I’ve never been before and I really want to go!!
by the way your bangs look really cute braided like that.
The hickory stripe pants!? YAAY!
I am quite excited, thank you! Cheap way there? To live close, haahaa. Since I live in DC it’s insanely $$$ for the flight. Yea if you’re thinking of going in October you should get on priceline or something for hotel + flight deals. Any special prices will be up by now
yah i love those pants!
ahah yah. i live on the east coast so its pretty expensive! but luckily i don’t really have to pay for hotels because my friend lives in japan and said i could stay with her if i visit!
Oh that’s great then!!
I love your hair - the braided bangs is such a pretty look!
~
And thick-rimmed glasses ftw!
Haha, it seems like Tsubasa can sell annnnyyything! =O
I do wish they’d make cuter ones but either way - my mom buys them for me… -o-lll
Hey, not complaining though, I enjoy pinching those pennies! =D
Awe thanks! I’ve been practicing the front braid but am still just getting a hang of it.
I LOVE YOUR BANG BRAID!
LOL those pads instantly give you 50+ gyaru points while on your period.
Thanks! keeps the awkward bang length outta my face!
This was just too good a post!!! LOVE IT.
I am so glad and agree you’re open about hygiene products. LOL It is just a natural thing after all.
Hahaha…I need me some of those maxi pads too!
hahahaha MaxiPads, awesome
Haha, when I was in Japan last year, I had to buy some sanitary napkins/pantyliners/whatever, and the designs on the packing were so cute! They had little flying piggies and clouds all over them~
I got a sample of that new Kotex brand too; they came in a nice little bag. I really like the colors, and the packing isn’t that really crinkly loud stuff either.
Yea, I switched to them for some stuff actually! You’re right, the wrappers don’t crinkle! I hadn’t realized.
hahaha i love the japanese & the silly things they do sometimes. those pads are brilliant! though i have to say, how often to people wear pads? i stopped wearing them i was 13!
that was so sweet of mike to take you out on a bad day! what are husbands for, eh?
I love your ribbon flip flops, so cute!!!
and your friend is the best =^^=
about the pads just too adorable
Holy Christ on a bike that is the funniest thing ever - I wonder if there are others like it! Everybody should endorse a pad! Anna Tsuchiya could do a biker-tough one, and Mika Nakashima could do a goth-girl one or maybe a pink and black one for the two Nana’s - LOL ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
My friend sent me the same bijin bath salt of the girl on the right! Cuteness!
I want to do the side braid for the wedding! How much to fly you to Cape Cod and make me burtiful???!?
OMG THEY SHOULD!!!!! LOL! I think this is probably the most random endorsement ever~~!!
Trust me, if I accomplished the braid you TOTALLY can!
I totally agree: they should be girlied up! I remember Tampax did it, made all the wrappers bright and colourful. The pads need to catch up to them, I think
Tsubasa pads, great!! LOL I love wacky Japan~~ I always did love Tampex Pearls since the packaging was pretty attractive though.
Hope your Monday’s get better soon!! If they get too unbearable, perhaps watching “Office Space” and wrecking an ink jet will make your day ^_____^♥
Oh yea, I forgot how surprising that was when pearl came out with the swirls on the packaging!
A++ post. Would read again! Haha!
OMG, the themed pads! Awesome! I wonder when the states are going to catch on. Lady Gaga Tampons, anyone?
I don’t use the disposable pads/tampons anymore, but I when I used to, I was always *so* embarrassed by the packaging. Not actually what was in it, but that seafoam green, or that pastel pink wrapper….ugh.
Dear lord Lady Gaga tampons would sell out so quickly LOOOOOOOL. And yes… the dreaded seafoam green!!
I’m waiting for the giveaway ;D haha *jk*
a
I personally don’t care what pads look like and I still find it odd that you would aim them at gals…but if it makes her money and people can er…get good use out of them (??) then I’m all for it
Yea, I can imagine the company pursued this knowing it would make at least SOME BANK. Wonder what the competition in the hygiene department is like over there. I feel here in the
US it’s like ALWAYS PADS and TAMPAX TAMPONS = 99.9% of the profits.
Well I hope if there is some kind of competition she can break it
Yeah it’s the same in the UK too, and I imagine it is in Japan. It sounds so silly but this is one of those tiny things I worry about when I move to Tokyo…where and which pads will I buy?! haha
Not silly at all!! During a summer exchange to Germany I was the only girl to bring her own stash of US brand tampons (applicator style.) Come to find out, the non-applicator style tampons were the most popular there at the time and all the girls in my class were miserable…. except me! bwahahahaaa!
I hope today turned out at least slightly better for you bb, though judging from your tweets there’s still some stress! ;o; *hug*
lol Packaging is everything to me, so even though they’re technically standard they’re cute!
I’m loving your cute-casual after work outfit~ those flip flops are just adorable! ❤ & you did the side-braid hairstyle! Love it so much on you~
Is it sad that I actually think the Elis pads are cute?
& yea, I totally signed up for the Kotex U freebies… lol~
Thanks sweetie, god work…. it’s insane. But seems like yours is stressing too this week?? We need a happy hour! LOL
Ohhh, haven’t tried this… Thanks for sharing! Will check it out at Daiki soon!
Haha, why shouldnt feminine products be adorable!?! Why not, I’m already cranky, but I still want to be cute
Cute coordinate change btw, but yeah I have joined the tired club of room wear, I need some cuter stuff, maybe some gelato pique. I try not to look like a complete monster when I get home but its so hard!!
and popeyes!!! evil evil, but I bet it was yum yum, it seems like this is just one of those weeks, hope its gets better soon, or atleast the weekend comes faster
I need some gelato pique too! I’ve gotten bad lately with just wearing the same 2 pair of sweats post work =_=
Kekeke, maxi pads should be way cuter than they are now~
who wouldn’t want a friend that sends you adorable maxi pads from japan? Once again, I must point out that you’re one of the luckiest people in the world Jenny!!!! By the way, when are you planning to visit Japan? OH! And. D I’d. I tell you how much I love your braided bangs? Super adorbs~
Thanks so much!! In late August!! So soon~~
LMAO.. those are the cutest pads ever. Your “Aunt Flow” would be happy. Okay I think I gone too far. xD
Popeye’s is the bomb. I love their chicken and biscuits. *fatty!*
We need to start selling those Elis pads in the US. Or at least add decorations to the pads in stores. It’ll make me less grumpy when I have to go into cvs in the middle of the night to buy them. And I hope you’re feeling better. Nothing cures the blues like some good fast food & a good laugh.
Indulgent food on crappy days is a must ;D
I’ve heard about the cat cafe & seen it on youtube before. It’s a really cute idea. I’d love to have my drink & be able to pet some cats
And yes… Why don’t they make pads’ packaging more girlie? Since they are feminine products… If they made the packaging more pretty maybe I wouldn’t be so embarrassed and it could be passed off as a notebook or something in case it ever fell out
Hi Jenny!! I’m back from Bali!!
I missed so many posts! About those sanitary pads, we have some floral design ones here. But that is about it. Totally agree that they should come up with cute and sweet looking ones!!
Welcome back!!
Damn, you are adorable, haha. Those pads are RIDICULOUS! (in the most funny of ways)
Kinda makes me wish Aunt Flow was paying me a visit, lol
HAHAHAHAAAA! I had that bizarre thought for a moment too! gaaaaaaah
Your friend is the sweetest! She sends you the BEST pick-me-ups! As for the maxi pad part of the post…I just agree with you 100%! Yes, it’s HILARIOUS, and yes, women shouldn’t be embarrassed about “dressing up” some of the less beautiful parts of being a woman. Make it fun, right?!
Haahaa exactly!
I love your t-shirt and your glasses!!!
omg…the pads are just too cute *.*
love the package and the rucksacks
i am a little angry as to why the topic of pads or the very existence of them in one’s bag used to MORTIFY me when i was going through puberty… it shouldn’t be so hush hush and they should teach boys not to tease girls about it, it was A DIFFICULT TIME which shouldn’t need to be >: (
so yes, cute packaging ;D and not talking about pads like they are some sort of shameful item! woo!
loool TSUBASA PADS i love them!!! i don’t use pads anymore, but still…those are hillarious~ so glad your friend sent them to you for all of us to enjoy

also, going to steal your snacks, k? look sooo yummy….
