Apparently, US Congress isn't the only place where it's 'verboten':
Carefree has been forced to defend its new ad that shows a naked woman and uses the words "vaginal discharge", saying it is a celebration of the female body.
The Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) received complaints about the ad for Acti-Fresh liners as soon as it was launched last night.
In the ad a naked young woman discusses vaginal discharge in a white room, her body artfully hidden behind a bunch of white flowers.
Campaign spokeswoman Debbie Selikman said the company wanted to cut through the taboo surrounding the word vagina.
"It’s the first time a major brand has had the guts to use real words, not euphemisms or diminutive terms," Ms Selikman said.

It's a product for the vagina. You put it on, about, or inside the vagina.
...what other word should you use?
