To be a bit unsure how to take this

[catgirl1976]

My work has recently furbished the ladies loos with baskets containing deodorant, perfume, hairspray, bobble, kirby grips, dry shampoo, tampax and a range of other beauty products and toiletries such as hand cream and mouthwash.

I am sure it's coming from a nice place but I was slightly as there is nothing similar in the mens loos. Still the tampax come in handy when you get caught short and after a garlicy lunch the mouthwash is no bad thing.

But today, I have gone for a wee and they have now added a little basket of fanjo wipes and deodorant in the actual cubicles.

I have issues with an industry that tries to convince women their vaginas are smelly and dirty as it is, but having them provided at work seems really odd.

Would anyone else be a bit by this, or would they just spray their fanny with gay abandon and be a more productive employee knowing they now had rampant thrush a lady garden that smelt like a summer meadow?

Ruffdiamond well I can see how the marketing will go for that one.

I think they should be called 'Netherwipes'

@ curtains

is imagining women spraying their fannies with gay abandon

I'd happily use wipes if I were on my period. Not fanny deodorant, though.

Another gap in the market for a fanjo deodorant fragrance 'Gay Abandon'!

I'd have loved to have been a fly on the HR wall when they had that conversation:

A: You'll have to talk to Stinky Jean, I've had another complaint.
B: I can't! I can't! It's against EU regulations.
A: Well, we'll have to put Right Guard in the ladies' loos again.
B: But isn't that a bit obvious?
A: Fair enough. I'll stick in some kirby grips and a box of tissues.
B: Hmm. Still a bit pointed.
A: OK! I've got a spare set of GHDs at home. And some Elnett. Is that enough to disguise the Right Guard?
B: And that rank Beyonce perfume that keeps being passed round for Secret Santa. Pop that in too. And some panty liners. And some fanjo wipes. [knowing look]
A: Briliant! It'll feel all... nightclubby! Ooh, what about some Durex?
B: Two words, Pam. Steve. Accounts.
A: Fair enough.

Oooh

I am going to pop some durex in the basket and wait for people to start gossiping at the water cooler about why the hell HR have done that

What else can I add............

Great idea - maybe put a nit comb in too.

How about some breath freshener spray?

tena lady

(With no judgement on anyone who does have a weak bladder, my pelvic floor has seen far better days and when combined with a repetitive cough, it's no fun for anyone...)

Add a couple of herbal teabags.

And a soap-on-a-rope.

Breath spray
Set of sixteen-sided dungeons & dragons dice
Cheap Towie bronzer
Athlete's foot cream
Support stockings
Chicken fillets (bra inserts, not actual poultry)

I would be made up if my work put loads of beauty products in the loos. Just be greatful.

I think you should add poultry and also a d20.

Why not turn it into a popular office game and remove one item each day? People have to guess what's missing. children's parties were very boring in the 1980s

Chuck in a mars bar for those pmt days.

It could be like geocaching, you take something out, but replace it with something.

I also think HR have just been putting in what they happen to have lying around at home

sod the mars bar , I would insist on godiva chocolates at least

I now have a vision of people selectively dropping pens near women desks just so they can have a little sniff

I hope you don't find the stinky minky , your treats could go , mind you , you could then invest in a few prawns / tins of cat food

Some canesten cream might come in handy.

You are so spoiled op,where I used to work I was lucky if I could sit on the loo seat before liberally spraying it with anti-bac spray

I was the only woman there though,so if I installed another loo roll,heads would roll

Certainly seems odd that its just the women's loos that have been upgraded.

Tomorrow I am adding canestan, condoms and chicken fillets :)

Well yes, given that it's usually the gents' that reeks. (How do I know, you ask? I have to lock up one of each at the end of a shift on the weekend. I can't even stick my head in the gents' room to see if the light is on without holding my breath. The ladies' is generally fine unless someone has changed a baby and put the residue in the nappy bin, and even then the gents' would give them a good run for their money. Different reek anyway; the baby pooh is more... wholesome.)

Flip flops. For when your heels are a killing but you know if you take them off it's game over.
