Finally, an Incontinence Underpanty to Match My F-Me Pumps.

We dug the gimmick this time. And this time. And this time and this time. But this is one saunter-through-time too many.* And we’re not standing for it!

Especially for a product like sexier incontinence underpants.

Expect to see the ad, dubbed “Evolution” (like one of the aforementioned raping-time pieces), on national TV, in print versions and online through 2010. And you can thank zig for that.

Client: Tena, which seeks to position itself as “The evolution of bladder protection.” We got the PR direct to us, but props also to AdFreak for shooting us the spot, like, 2 minutes before, because apparently they’re slightly higher on the mass-mailer hierarchy.

*Poorly-executed, to boot. Catch that moment where the flapper outfit just randomly appears? Ugh.

Ask a woman in her sixties what she wants to do with a free Saturday, and many go quiet, not for lack of preferences, but because decades of quietly editing their own desires to match someone else’s have left them without an easy way back to what was theirs to begin with.

Economists studying happiness data from more than 130 countries found that well-being typically bottoms out around age 47 or 48, then rises again through later adulthood — meaning the average happiness curve often improves well beyond midlife rather than continuing to decline with age.
