Some advertising from Veet has been controversial. A test website for the product in France offended some online users by claiming that the product was "good for the pussy." A representative of Veet addressed the situation stating, "We wanted to create an ad campaign that was a bit humorous and offbeat...we didn't want to shock, but we're not the experts on that." The manager reported there were several complaints about the website, and it was summarily taken down so as not to "tarnish the brand's image."
