Anybody else crossing their legs reflexively as they read this thread?

I hang one of these from my knickers instead. Citrussy smell without irritation.

Thanks for the heads up.

I would also like to offer some advice. Don't put Vicks Vaporub on your butt hole.

My son caught worms so I wormed us and read that they crawl out of your bum hole at night to lay eggs around the area and that when you take your underwear or PJs off in the morning you basically end up flicking these eggs all about the bedroom. It was suggested to put Vaseline around your bum hole at night so the eggs stick to that and thus you can simply wash them off the next morning reducing the risk of reinfection. Anywho I didn't have Vaseline and decided Vaporub would be a good substitute, it was not.

I'm sitting in the hairdressers waiting for my high lights to 'cure', and reading these answers. I'm hoping I don't get asked why I'm gurgling with laughter!! ☺️😆🤣

It can't be as bad as my new body wash that has spearmint and eucalyptus in it.

Since when did people start spraying perfume on their pubes?

Well 20 years ago a woman in a department store told me when I go out I should spray perfume on my pulse points and also down there so I don't think it's new!

MoonWoman69 · 06/02/2024 10:20

Sending you strength and positive vibes at this most difficult time... How long do I need to leave this Domestos soaked kitchen roll on my rusty sheriffs badge? Asking for a friend... 😁😁😁

Thank god I saw this just in time. I had already covered my toes in toothpaste and fake tanned my armpits. My next job was spraying my pubes with orange scented perfume. 😂

🤣🤣

My thoughts at this difficult time.

I am reminded of the time we put a reed diffuser in the downstairs loo and the reed diffuser came into contact with the spare loo roll and the spare loo roll absorbed all the perfume oil from the diffuser and I didn't notice and wiped myself with it...

😱

I thought scented toilet paper was bad enough, that sounds like my worst nightmare.

Georgyporky · 06/02/2024 10:42

I can remember using a vaginal deodorant spray years ago. It was very heavily marketed at the time.

It didn't sting, but I was told that it tasted foul.

That's really such an unfortunate series of events

Ha ha…..I feel your pain….. reminds me of using a loo in Malaysia and then finding no loo roll….scrabble in my bag yielded a couple of mosquito repellent wipes…..yes, well, and it lasted 24 hrs….

Noooooooooo

My undercarriage just cringed

Allofaflutter · 06/02/2024 10:52

I can confirm that you never must use mint source shower gel anywhere near there. Never, never, never.

I have had a bit of Deep Heat go a bit too close, and that was bad enough. I had a sore hip so rubbed the whole hip area not thinking that the body part next to it, should never know about Deep Heat.

Actually I am pleasantly surprised to hear that pube spray is coming back again. As having actual pubes must be too. I won't be spraying mine though, with orange or any other scent.

Ah yes, I am another who casually used DH’s mint eucalyptus shower gel and lived to regret it.

SoupDragon · 06/02/2024 10:57

Echoing that the Tea Tree and Mint shower gel should go nowhere near your delicate nether regions.
