To think more women want unscented sanitary towels than scented ones?

[SinkGirl]

It comes up here often. And maybe there are some women who want scented towels (no judgement if you do!).

But I had to buy some pads in an emergency today and they were all scented. In the supermarket I have to hunt out the only ones that aren’t scented. It’s bad enough I can’t get Always Infinity anywhere any more but this is inexcusable - the scented ones literally burn my skin, I can’t be alone.

Who are these companies using for their focus groups? Surely women aren’t saying “yes, make all your towels scented please!”... are they?

So time for vote. If you had a choice and if all else was equal would you...
YANBU - prefer unscented pads
YABU - prefer scented pads

I’m sooo relieved to find this post!

I also had to switch from Always because scented towels burn and sting me. I’ve bought scented towels by accident a few times and now have to surreptitiously sniff the packets in the shop before buying 😬 (I’m worried that some euphemism for “scented” will be used on the packet that I’ll miss otherwise).

I also really object to the implications of only selling scented towels.

Whiff of misogyny...

Anyone with a good reach on Twitter fancy sharing this with some of the manufacturers? I don’t use it sadly!

Not me - I just use it for work (boss wouldn’t be very happy!)

This!!!! I have something called Fox-Fordyce disease and anything scented/perfumed down below makes me so so uncomfortable... I search supermarket shelves constantly to find alternatives that don't break the bank.
