To warn you to never spray orange-scented perfume on your pubes?

[JFDIYOLO]

It's l'Orangerie by Saltworks Perfumery

I shall be taking no further questions at this difficult time

😳

Oh good Lord. Did you apply it to your son as well? Did he go no contact with you?

Absolutely! Once used, never again! It's like putting toothpaste on your bits.😳
Mango, lemon, lime, coconut fine.
Mint? Who thought that was a good idea?!

When I was pregnant (for the 4th time!youd think id have known the drill by then) I packed shower gel-the mint one in my hospital bag

Didn't give it much thought at the time-shower gel is shower gel

Gave birth and used it

The pain-the bloody pain!

hes now 19 and I can still feel it

Pregnant me is a twat

Are we allowed to have pubes again?

I can never keep up.

Idiotically, I wiped excess orange essential oil that I’d managed to get on my fingers while filling a burner onto my neck years ago. Result was immediate and horrendous!
Glad I didn’t think to wipe it elsewhere.

Ah this thread is giving me the opportunity to walk down memory lane and revisit the noughties when I used to use Jessica Simpson edible perfume for erm... reasons.

You know when people say they're crying with laughter? Doesn't really happen, not often.
It just did. Real tears. Thank you so much, magnificent. 😂

I think back in the early 70s it was (think I recall someone in an early Jilly Cooper book spraying eau de toilette down her knickers). Ooh! And Helen in "Riders" startled Rupert with her "stiff, sticky bush" having mistaken hairspray for vaginal deodorant.
I suppose every trend will eventually have a comeback (I might swerve this one though since).
Whatever possessed you, OP?

Never spray anything down there pubes or no pubes ladies and as for Vicks vaporub on your bum eek bet that stung - thanks for the laugh though

User name works out
Heeheee

so glad someone else mentioned Jilly - perfectly standard to pull your pants outwards and spray “scent” on your “bush”.

I'm crying!

Yep!

I threw away some bog rolls I'd bought that turned out to be scented. The packaging was silent on the point, and when I first started using them I had a cold and didn't notice the perfume.

My foof became increasingly sore and I started to wonder what kind of fucking cold also causes soreness of the minge. Didn't make the connection until I got my sense of smell back.

Prominent labelling of perfume should be compulsory on anything that comes into contact with the undercarriage imo. I now sniff packs of bog roll if they're not a make I know to be unscented, which gets me some strange looks in Tesco.

And it had to be "scent" because the word "perfume" was considered common.
I love to find a fellow Jilly-phile

PMSL.
It's too orangy for me and my crow 😆 🍊

@GertrudeOHara and @LaMarschallin

i found my people! I came in to say the same thing. They all did it, Janey, Georgie, Abby…

Oh, bravo!

I have this perfume.

Why was my first thought "I might try it..."

I was once at a pampered chef show one of those mlm things where they try and sell you cooking stuff. Well the lady selling it got the hosts husband to use a knife or something she was flogging to chop chilli. He went to the loo after which was just down the hall from the kitchen diner we were sitting in. Yep he hadn’t washed his hands first! The screaming and swearing was epic 😂. Poor man. The mlm lady was beside herself. We all were laughing though. He was a bit of a prick to our friend and had pushed his way into the cooking demonstration in a im the best cook ever way and had been mansplaning to all us inferior ladies. 😂😂😂😂

Oh thank the Lord for this thread as light relief from elderly parents wrangling....

That review for the Mint Source shower gel.... absolute poetry. I came on to talk about that. I need add nothing more. Never a morning person, my first experience left me so wide awake and traumatised my DP thought I'd lost my mind. I may have been a bit vocal.

And the worms Vapo Rub story.... took me back to when DS (now 30) had constipation requiring a pessary aged about 5. I don't think either of us have quite recovered from that.

You have!
And they all had their signature scents: Fracas, Diorissimo etc.

And they always went out "reeking" of it!

Cracking up laughing over here ...

So how did it actually feel? Well, not actual pain, just a sort of rather ominous and site-specific warmth. The sort that could develop into something so very much worse, judging by some of these stories. But faded after an hour or so.

Incidentally if you're looking for an orangey scent, it's pretty good.

To those quivering to know why did I do it? I was OF COURSE doing it in the spirit of scientific enquiry - does it alter the result if sprayed there?? Body chemistry etc.

And as to where this might have come from? Yes!!!! This was definitely a Jilly Cooper thing. I remember the stickybush episode.

Any further enquiries should be directed via my psychiatrist, and quite possibly my solicitor ...

That'll be because they "drenched" themselves in it. Despite always being poor and existing on scrambled eggs.

I've only been affluent enough to be able to dab the odd bit on pulse spots.

Reminds me of the time DH used Deep Heat on a calf strain and then went to the loo!
