to think that scented sanitary products are gross.

[taxicum]

I hate the smell of scented products. The perfumey stench has become associated in my mind with being unclean. I liken it to lingering stale perfume after a night out. Yuk

You can smell the products on the shelves before you even unwrap them. I don't really ever use these products but occassionally (in an extreme emergency) when I do I'm boggled by why someone would ever want to put a product with such a hideous chemical smell near there nethers. Why?

The thought of them makes my fanny itch. shudder

I hate them too. The smell of the aisle is so horrible. I just want to soak up the blood pishing out of me why does it need to smell like 'flowers'?

It prompted me to switch to washable towels and they have been a revelation - so soft and comfortable. The scented ones are unbearable.

YANBU. I accidentally bought some and just thought "why would they do that?". It is just nasty. I don't even wear perfume normally and if I did I wouldn't wear such an obciously cheap perfume as that. And don't get me started on scented toiletpaper. I once blew my nose in a piece of that and then the scent lingered for ever. Sooo not nice.

Totally hate them! BUT bizarrely DH often asks if I'm wearing a new perfume on the days I wear them and when I say no, he says I smell extra lovely those days? Shudder!

They bloody burn!

I don't buy them, so I'm not bothered by their existence.

I'm adding scented toilet roll. I've never had a UTI in my life and got one plus a kidney infection. I'm neutropenic so it's really serious and now I have to take my own bloody loo roll to work

I like them.

urgh, itchy, thrush inducing horrible product that makes you smell like the back of a mini cab.

I think they're vile too. In fact I started a thread about the very same a few months back. For years and years we've managed quite happily and now Mr Big Sanitary Product Company has decided we want to whiff of terrible, cheap air freshener down below.

I'm not a fan of the scented stuff but was pleased last month when all three packs of Bodyform ultra with wings were unscented. The chemist had better have them in stock again!

No joke - I can smell them on the train, in meetings.. It's a smell that stays with you as it's very unique. (I never smell period blood by the way).

Hate them.

Also can't stand them and increasingly hard to find without. Can we start a petition please?! I too find them thrush inducing. Ick!

No I don’t find them “gross” however I do find them unpleasant

Agree. They're awful. But everyone here hates them, so who the hell is buying them?!

The smell makes me nauseous.

Scented nappy disposal bags used to do the same. No need for nappies in the Molly household these days, so I've no idea if they've improved.

YANBU!

I got some weird looks last time I was in the san pro aisle, as I was sniffing the packets to double check I was buying the non-scented ones! I dread to think what people thought I was doing

YANBU!!!!!!!

Scented toilet paper?? I had no idea it existed. Hideous!

I like them. I get anxious that I smell metallic without them as my period is heavy.

Each to their own.

All - apparently it's the tube that's scented. It still scents the paper

I'm unsure which I dislike more. Scented pads or the term "san pro".
