Playtex has a new product called "Fresh + Sexy" intimate wipes, designed for men and women to freshen up before and after sex. New ads for the product, from Grey in New York, have a hard time addressing the issue directly, so they use suggestive wordplay.

"A clean pecker always taps it," says a second ad showing a woodpecker tapping it at least temporarily.
