That commercial where several girls carry out an elaborate plan just so one can secretly sneak a tampon into a bathroom isn’t that off the mark. In fact that’s just one of the inconveniences of being a woman that men will never understand.

50 things men should know&Photo: ALAMY
Researchers have unveiled a list of 50 things every "real" man should know - including wiring a plug, knowing the offside rule, and how to interpret what a woman means.
A study of 2,000 adults found every man should also know , polish his shoes and give a confident handshake.
He should also be able to , be confident
and know the difference between ale and lager.
The research, which was commissioned by William Hill, found additionally a
should know his wedding anniversary without having to pause to think.
He should also be able to name the last three England football managers and always know what his other half drinks.
Which way is north,
and how much fuel you have left when the petrol light comes on also made the top 50 list.
The study also revealed that when a man hears a woman claim "she's fine" - he should be astute enough to realise she's far from fine.
A spokesman for bookmakers William Hill said: "The results show the range of skills, facts and ways of thinking that we associate with the modern man.
"It shows a good blend of traditional values long associated with masculinity and the ability to master tasks that perhaps don't come as easily to the modern man as they might to the generation before them.
"Having confidence balanced with an attentive nature and, of course, a bit of sporting knowledge, should set men up well when checking themselves against the list."
Other essential things to know in life were basic DIY, laundry and even map reading skills appeared in the 50 man facts, while acing parallel parking and
were also necessities.
Sporting a well-knotted tie, being able to introduce himself confidently and also knowing his own alcohol limits are still important qualities for a man to be familiar with.
And the cave-man qualities are still well regarded - knowing , carve meat properly and light a barbecue all appear in the list.
Knowing the words to the national anthem, knowing the weekend's football scores and having an opinion on who are favourites to win the Premier League also crept into the top 50.
But being able to undo a bra one-handed, understanding betting odds and how to choose a good wine all narrowly missed out on the list.
Knowing to never call a woman "cuddly" or "bubbly", what the first rule of the film Fight Club is and having
were also just outside the top 50 list.
Nearly half the men studied (47 per cent) felt they weren't up to scratch based on the number of the 50 things they were able to tick off.
In fact, just 46 per cent felt they could consider themselves a 'manly' man.
And a panicked fifth of men have faked their way through a conversation about football, pretending to know things they didn't or having opinions on teams they really had no clue about- all in a bid to not seem non-sporty.
The William Hill spokesman added: "Knowing your anniversary date or remembering to polish your shoes might seem like small things but they're obviously important to get right.
"Being handy and good at practical tasks is always going to help a man seem competent but a bit of sporting passion and knowing your stuff when it comes to the weekend's football clearly doesn't go amiss."
