It’s your vagina

The new vaginal ring contraceptive, NuvaRing, has found a strong advertising presence here in Mexico as well. I found a brochure on a table in the doctors center where Claudia’s OB is located. It was a polished, well-made pamphlet designed to sucker inform prospective patients about this contraceptive.

Then I saw the back with this URL, which I link here so you know I’m not kidding: http://www.tuvagina.com.mx/. Just in case someone can’t read between the lines, tu in Spanish is “you” or “your” (informal, familiar form). The link will redirect you to entremujeres.com.mx (“among/between women”), and the ad will be ‘anillo vaginal’ which takes you to another site, unavezalmes.com.mx (“una vez al mes” = “once a month”)

Now I’m a guy, so the elevated testosterone in my bloodstream may prevent my brain from comprehending these estrogen-dependent things, but I have a feeling that the idea of promoting that site in English with the commensurate URL wouldn’t even get past the conference table in a marketing firm’s brainstorm room, much less printed on who-knows-how-many million little pamphlets to be distributed everywhere. But that’s just me…I don’t ever recall seeing a yourpenis.com URL associated in any way shape or form with the overabundance of erectile dysfunction drugs (thank GOD).

Just to test my useless theory, http://www.yourvagina.com/ resolves, but it’s “in repair” and owned by a web hosting company, indicating a probable squatted domain or the like. Either way, it’s unlikely you’ll see that link resolve anytime soon to anything resembling NuvaRing….perhaps other things which involve lots of pop-up windows and “over 18″ disclaimers, but I wouldn’t know anything about that.
