What does Midol exactly do?

It explains period pain, just doesn't say that MIDOL is the ideal solution. Needs a clever line that positions the product, otherwise it's just a generic statement for the problem.

Visual brings to mind more of discomfort than relief.

the way you describe the pain is ok but the ad is not citing the solution properly

"selling is advertisment"

good analogy but go the extra mile to explain what the product offers

The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time
