To not want nor agree with fucking douching or moisturising MY OWN Vag.

[frogslegs35]

I can't go anywhere nor watch TV without being reminded that I 'Should' be doing one of/both and I'm getting slightly pissed off with this severely outdated information.
Dr's recommend it here Half of pharmacies are taken up with feminine products such as Provag gel - moisturiser for your vagina (WTAF?) and floraVag - to purify your vagina I'm getting leaflets in the mailbox and even got given one on a visit to the cinema ffs!
Final straw today was in the pharmacy - the assistant asked if I'd like to buy some on promotion so I told her I didn't use it and didn't want to cause myself thrush and she looked at me like I'd just told her I ate newborn babies
If my translation of language would have allowed I'd have also informed her that my own Gynaecologist and GP both advise against using anything other than gentle soap on the outside - so thank you very much but my vag is capable of cleaning itself, is clean and hygenic, doesn't smell and I manage perfectly well without FloraVag.

I wonder if there's an equivalent Willy Wash that men are encouraged to use

[FrigginRexManningDay]

Read my post heart I asked who told you that femfresh prevents thrush,not who told you to use it cause you are gullible. No need to be so irratated.

Fuzzpig I wonder what they would call it Pampered Penis, Delightful Dick,?

[TheBigJessie]

I just wash the surface of my body all over with my normal shower-gel and water. It hasn't caused thrush yet. I only even know about thrush from MNers.

No special products required, never mind douching!

[Parmarella]

Delightful Dick sounds like a famous 5 character, or an olde English pudding

Taking it one step further, I wonder what it would smell like. It would have to be a 'MAN' smell, so something like Engine grease, 2 stroke oil, Camembert?

[SmokedMackerel]

I think I remember a Monty Python book having a page dedicated to fake adverts for "intimate freshness" products, and telling women how they all smell, and then a business proposition asking people if they could think of any new body parts that need deodorising then to write in. Or something like that anyway, hard to remember now. But I remember reading it s a teen and laughing.

[meddie]

I think testi-breeze has a nice ring to it

[Parmarella]

I am sure that men would get more BJ's if they somehow kept their delightful cocks free of pee-smell.

maybe they could invent a little smell-neutralising penis-holder to be worn inside pants,a bit like a panty-liner but then a sort of tea cosy for a cock.

(I soooo need to start work, but am distracting myself on here by being slightly outrageous...)

[specialsubject]

I don't know what scary place you live in, OP - I'm not seeing these ads or posters, and no-one has tried to sell me this stuff in the chemist!

there is no law against selling useless products.

[Binkyridesagain]

Parmarella what about a 'plug in', men do like a gadget!

[Parmarella]

plug what into where?!

[Binkyridesagain]

Into the hole at the end.

[Parmarella]

a fart neutraliser? hmmm

[Parmarella]

I think a plug in that whistles when one farts would be more successful (knowing men)

I have lots of business ideas today

[FrigginRexManningDay]

Just hang a Christmas tree air freshener around his balls,vanilla scented and pretend your eating an ice cream.

[curlew]

The problem is that it's hard to persuade men that they aren't perfect just as they are- but women are always ready to believe that their bodies are too fat, too thin, too hairy, too smelly..........Why waste the marketing budget on men when there are still bits of women they can make us feel inadequate about?

[SkodaLabia]

I don't squirt anything up there, that's what douching is, isn't it? But I wash the external area with whatever shower gel I've got going at the time.

Unless I fully waxed or trimmed v v close I'd be surrounded by a cloud of flies if I didn't clean it with something.

[IceBeing]

plug in?

[frogslegs35]

where do you live op?/ you need to move
Eastern Europe/I won't be driven out by the VagAttack squad :)

I assume the vag moisturiser is for those who are dry of vag and need a little help?
Nope, it states and I quote albeit translated -
''prOVag ® gel Innovative gel for intimate surroundings used to strengthen the protection and soothing'' :)
It's a moisturiser with some such shite in it the same as the douch stuff.
There's a whole other host of lubricant type products.

I'm currently pregnant and use femfresh wash instead of shower gel or soap
That's different to what I'm talking about, it's just a gentle soap with a low PH and hypoallergenic, the same as baby soap which I use for my outside Vag area's.


All completely unnecessary products, a marketing ploy and yet another stick to beat women with.
Agreed, I WON'T CONFORM to a chemically rose smelling foof :)


And YES, there's the same kind of washes here for men too, given names like - Revitalising, soothing, moisturising intimate gel for men

I've also just remembered about - Ellen, the probiotic tampon

[Binkyridesagain]

IceBeing google male chastity belts, a plug in is mild compared to them.

Infact that's just given me another idea, a male chastity belt with something similar to those minging toilet cleaners that hang over the bowl intergrated into it.

[Didactylos]

OP, i think Ellentheprobiotictampon would make a perfect name change for giving advice on fanjo threads
