"The greatest scents in the world are pheromones," he confides.

Yyyyyeaaah, I don't think you can smell those. Unless you've been on an episode of the X-Files, I think.

Lady, I know what your problem is. You're wearing skinny jeans and burying your junk in a sand pile for like 18 hours a day. Of COURSE your ladybits are going to be a little bit sad!

I don't know about any other vaginas, but my vagina has never been so horrifically and unpleasantly odiferous that I have considered drenching it in pussy deodorant. Maybe I'm just special?

@AndNowForSomethingDifferent: Indeed. I see your "my vagina has never been so horrifically and unpleasantly odiferous that I have considered drenching it in pussy deodorant" and raise you an I've never actually caught a whiff of a vagina-y odor coming from a woman's vagina (disclaimer: I'm hetero and have never gotten that close to one). In conclusion, I am convinced that the idea of odiferous vaginas is a fallacy invented by men to make women feel bad about their vaginas--a body part that no one who isn't in the midst of cunniligus can actually smell. Who's with me?

Oh, and I can't "smell" when someone is on the rag either.

@HarpMadness: Mine, cinnamon and apple scented candles. Perfect for autumn! During the summer, it emits "ocean breeze" scents. In spring, "fresh laundry." In winter, it emits "pine" scents. It's very into adjusting its odor according to the seasons and major holidays.

@ginger rant: I hate to be serious about this, but I have smelled menstrual odor on someone else before. Rarely, but I have. I have a very sensitive sense of smell, though.

What's worse than that though is the combination of menstrual odor and the weird scent they put in those scented pads. UGH.

And for the record mine smells like a vagina.

I really don't understand why this site is obsessed with feminine sprays and such, you don't have to use them. Sometimes you sweat down there, it smells, and you don't feel like taking a shower or are away from the house and you want to be smell-free.

I use these wipes that come with my always pads, I like em.

P.S. Please get off Terrance Howard's back about the baby wipes thing, you don't have to date him.

@ichigo18: People are against them because they can cause extremely bad yeast or bacterial vaginosis infections. You're lucky if they haven't done so for you, I however made the mistake of using one box one time and am currently suffering the horrific consequences as my doctor tries to treat me (I have been sick for 3 weeks)

@ichigo18: Wipes are a little different than douches and deodorants. Those are just bad for you and cause infection..which leads to more odor, which leads to using more garbage instead of treating the problem.

@ichigo18: Plus what others have said, I think it's more about the connotations that these sorts of products have and the way they are marketed. Some of it is nothing that isn't seen in any sort of advertising (there's something WRONG with YOU -- you must use this so you will be happy/normal/etc), but there is also I think an added sense of disgust in so-called "feminine hygiene" products. Your vagina is a dirty, dirty place and you must disguise what it is and how it smells! That's the message that they're using to sell these products -- which is what is offensive, especially considering our society's past and present tendency to label women and anything at all to do with their sexuality as "dirty".

@salymander: And not only do they cause yeast infections, a lot of the time they're manufactured by the same companies that also sell cures for yeast infections. Geez, I can't imagine why that would piss anyone off. It's probably just a coincidence!

@ichigo18: Never really noticed an "obsession" with feminine sprays on this site. There is a healthy appreciation for silly advertisements, and a lot of "feminine hygiene" products have pretty silly/annoying advertisements. These types of ads help make women feel like there's something WRONG with them because they don't naturally smell like rainbows and sunshine, when there obviously isn't anything wrong with them.

As for Terrance Howard, I would say his statements are creepy and infantilizing. He didn't have to make those statements in public, but he did because he felt like we would all benefit from his wisdom or something. I don't feel all that bad for criticizing him for it.

@ichigo18: Douches and vaginal deodorants are unhealthy and lead to yeast infections and UTIs in many, many women. Baby wipes and the like are an entirely different matter - I keep some unscented ones in my own bathroom for quick freshen-ups. But that is just cleansing, not putting foreign chemicals in or near my vagina because an ad told me that my parts are gross.

I'm going to go now and walk, clean-in-vadge but heavy-in-heart, down to the river, where I can ponder the shame and worry that the natural smell of my hoo-ha has caused. I just hope no one speaks to me.

Not to be crude or anything, but this makes me want to bottle my inner thigh-sweat and send it, unmarked, to the manufacturers of Pristeen. Then I want to erase the shame from this model's face and take her out for margaritas.

I know, she's just acting.

In reply to Breast Intentions
Ugh. I have stinky pits and really goopy earwax. On top of that, I have dense breast tissue, which makes finding lumps a lot more difficult.

The earwax thing reminds me of something that happened with my ex..he had the flaky earwax and was always going on about how gross my earwax was when I cleaned my ears. I saw something on TV about how it's a genetic trait (flaky vs. wet) and I felt sooo vindicated. Now it's such a hollow victory.
