My Willy Smells Of Lavender.

I bought some shower gel that described itself as invigorating. It's mint and tea tree flavoured. Over most of my body it seems to work just fine and dandy, but when it's used on my more sensitive areas it becomes a problem. It over-invigorates parts which are not used to such an elevated state of invigoration that said parts become extremely painful. It means that now whenever I have a shower most of me gets the mint and tea tree treatment, but Mr Tiggywinkle gets the back-up lavender scented shower gel.

I think there should have been clear signs on the bottle that it was not suitable for use everywhere.

And Merry Christmas.

They do a shampoo and conditioner of the same stuff my dp made the mistake of washing his hair with it and standing under the shower after laser eye treatment I could hear the scream downstairs!

I've got a black puff.

Think I'll switch to a less dangerous smell. Having a shower should not be an extreme sport.

Thanks for the warning all. We've an unopened sachet of the stuff balanced on top of the shower.

Mumcentreplus · 24/12/2011 23:31

...seriously it's shower gel not pepper spray!

WingDad · 24/12/2011 23:33

Mumcentre, I was innocently applying it to my thigh due to a strain but the sack just lazily brushed past during the application process.

.....Honest....

All I will say on this matter is that one should never, ever, ever attempt to remove a Mooncup with any trace of it still on one's hands. Ever.

meditrina · 24/12/2011 23:41

Watch out for the Bodyshop's peppermint foot cream too, and Tiger Balm. Do not touch anything sensitive with even the slightest trace still on your hands.

Mumcentreplus · 24/12/2011 23:41

hmmm...so no 'let's try a new lube' gone wrong eh? Grin

AmberLeaf · 24/12/2011 23:49

Oh yes!

Makes my bits go all chilly.

susiedaisy · 24/12/2011 23:52

Original source mint one made my bits sting and tingle for hours afterwards, definitely not for the nether regions, way too fresh !!!

Mya2403 · 25/12/2011 03:39

Bet your fat flaps smell like that too.

partytights · 25/12/2011 03:42

This is hilarious. I kind of understand. An Ex-P of mine was taking a shower at mine once and used tea tree shower gel. His shouts were epic.

CheerfulYank · 25/12/2011 03:47

One of my dear gay male friends is very uncomfortable with the thought or mention of fanjos. Once when I stayed at his and was going to shower he said "Um, I have mint castile soap, and it's really tingly so don't use it on your...your, erm...area...you know...there" all the while gesturing vaguely.

fuzzypicklehead · 25/12/2011 04:10

Yep, DH has (repeatedly) requested that I buy a different brand for this reason.

FellatioNelson · 25/12/2011 04:22

YANBU. I have abandoned any lotions and potions described as 'invigorating' for the same reasons - they kind of burn, like getting toothpaste in your eye.

Witchofthenorth · 25/12/2011 06:36

Ouch tiger balm.....please excuse me all I need to call my therapist....the memories

SnapesMistressofMerriment · 25/12/2011 09:41

The tingly lube you can get is just as bad, never used it again after that one time. Poor DP didn't get anywhere near as I was too busy rolling about over the bed and crying.

MorrisZapp · 25/12/2011 09:58

Doreen next door to my gran was given a scrubby shower glove for her birthday. She was a tad confused by the one glove thing, so she bought herself another and declares them 'very warm'.

Grandhighpoohba · 25/12/2011 10:19

I bought this for DH, he went out and bought the Rose and Strawberry instead, after a very tingly experience. So now it smells like I am having sex with Strawberry Shortcake. Its very off-putting.
