Giving your bits a spritz…

Chatting to a friend this evening and I mentioned that as part of my ‘going out routine’ I’ll spray perfume on my hair, clothes and wrists but I’ll also give ‘my bits a spritz’ that is I’ll spray my clothes ‘down there’
She was horrified but my husband is always amused at that!
So, do you spritz your bits or not?

Yes: I am not unreasonable and I do this
No: You are an tart and this is not acceptable

Confused

Why? Who for?

And why??

RobertaFirmino · 06/12/2021 23:55

Down where? Australia?

Yogaandcocoa · 06/12/2021 23:56

No

BeardieWeirdie · 06/12/2021 23:56

Er no, never done this. I thought you meant your actual vulva rather than the clothes covering it! 😱

MsAgnesDiPesto · 06/12/2021 23:56

To attract (or repel) passing canines? Mind boggled.

If people are greeting you on a night out by sniffing your crotch, I hate to tell you, but I think you’re doing it wrong.

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/12/2021 23:56

Proper weird

Lockheart · 06/12/2021 23:57

Yes I always talk to my fellow female lady friends about spraying my crotch, what larks.

CouncilHousedAndViolentBaby · 06/12/2021 23:57

No as it shouldn't smell ?

RobertaFirmino · 06/12/2021 23:57

Just so you know, Boots currently have £1 off selected Canesten products.

Thedogscollar · 06/12/2021 23:58

Not recommended can do more harm than good.
A vagina should smell like a vagina not some Gwynnie Paltrow imposter vagina.
Waste of expensive perfumeGrin

Maybe Op is a cat ?

GiveYourHeadAWobble · 06/12/2021 23:58

I’ve never done this. Never needed to Grin

Woof!

Nah -she mentioned clothes. What self respecting feline wears clothes other than under protest at Christmas.

Has to be canine

I could swear I've seen this as a "tip" somewhere, probably 15 to 20 years ago, OP, so I don't think you're the only one.

I don't wear perfume, now, but back when I did, I'd spray a bit in the air and then walk through it, as my mother taught me to do! Grin

You've rigged the vote so it looks like YANBU

bethabean · 07/12/2021 00:16

Not ashamed to say I do this!Grin
Think mine is a habit stemming from insecurity of smelling down there even though I have no reason to worry!

fabricfanatic · 07/12/2021 00:16

Ah, just remembered that some of the perfumes I had didn't come in spray bottles or maybe I'd decanted them myself into antique-style glass bottles. For those, I'd just dab my wrists and neck, and maybe a bit behind the knees. Pulse points.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 07/12/2021 00:20

Well, Coco Chanel did say you should apply perfume "Wherever one wants to be kissed." but I'm not entirely sure that was where she had in mind. Grin

NowEvenBetter · 07/12/2021 00:21

Oh cool, another thread getting women to share hilarious anecdotes about their stinking fannies? Nah, you’re alright cheers.

AnotherOneWithNoGoodName · 07/12/2021 00:24

I don't but have heard of people who do!

BehindTheFridge · 07/12/2021 00:39

Nope. Never done that.

Eww! Who the hell wants a mouth full of Chanel?

What kind of chat was this? If one of my friends randomly said ‘haha love a spray of impulse on my doo dah before I go out for the night’ I’d think they’d gone mental.

Anyway if you’re happy with it happy days.
