Always “Like a Girl” commercial was not only a hit in the media world, but a hit to the hearts of many women across the nation. In this commercial Always attempts to reach out and inform Americans of the damage caused to a female’s confidence when they do finally hit that age in their lives where insecurities begin to exist.

The experiences that women have went through, or situations that haunt the back of their minds are the fuel to the fire of this very simple statement.
