Summary: 

1) Because the add campaigns are designed by men.

2) Because in the dim dark reaches of many male brains there is something
"dirty" about the menstrual cycle. For years even women viewed puberty as
a curse visited on their daughters which was only slightly less demeaning
then sexual relations with a man. Since women are much more *delicate* then
men it is best not to embarass either men with the outright use of the
proper terminology or women with their delicate set of sensibilities by
discussing by name in public something which is supposed to be "girl talk"
and best kept relegated to the powder room and/or kitchen.
