As noticed on their Instagram page.

Femfresh here’s a little Biology 101 lesson for you. “People with vaginas” are known as WOMEN and GIRLS.

Well I hope it pushes their products off the shelves. My colleagues in general practice are constantly dealing with women with irritation (and worse) after using these types of products.

Here is the issue with this though. Many feminists like us won’t fight this because we will think “well whatever, Femfresh is a bullshit, unnecessary, misogynistic product” and hope it impacts their sales and we see the end of it.
But maybe another brand will see a product aimed at “people with vaginas” Hmm and think “oh this seems acceptable and woke and no one has kicked off, we should do it too” and there we fall into the slide of bye bye to the generally accepted useage of the word “woman”.

I agree ^

Meh. Happy to let neo vaginas have this one. Femfresh is misogynist bullshit.

So win win, really.

Which looks like good news for vaginas everywhere;

2. Please don't put products with perfumes in them up your fanjo.

I seriously doubt that marketing strategy will be effective for them.

They have used the line more than once, which indicates to me that it is an agreed upon phrase for the brand.

They peddle unnecessary products, that’s true. But still I think it’s disappointing that they’ve swallowed the Kool aid.

OK Chocco, I've seen the comment you mean now. I agree with you.

Ihuntmonsters · 25/07/2018 01:18

According to their main uk web page femfresh is for 'delicate vulval skin' so people with vulvas rather than people with vaginas if using woman is now verboten. Which is good in that I understand using any scented product in your vagina is a very bad idea. I've never bought femfresh and never plan to do so but I don't and never will identify as a 'person with a vagina'. Weird how trans activists seem so focused on genitals.

Sloth tend to agree with you, doesn't that kind of product cause problems for maintaining healthy balance of vaginal flora?

SlothSlothSloth · 25/07/2018 01:15

Can’t believe Femfresh still exists. Ridiculous company that plays on misogynistic ideas about the supposed dirtiness/smelliness of female genitals to market an at best useless and at worst damaging product to insecure women. Can’t say I really care about what words they use to do that.

Read their responses to people’s comments, that’s where they’re saying it.

2 things.

  1. People with vaginas are colloquially known as "women". Realizing this may help when marketing products to them.
  1. Please don't put products with perfumes in them up your fanjo.

I'm not sure what you're looking at, but just looked at their Instagram page and all of the posts are tagged #womenshealth
