Oh thats just gross - the smell, not you!

YABU. I quite like the Always with Freshelle! They smell anyway, of plastic and chemicals, so why not have them smell of old lady pot-pourri?

TheProvincialLady · 05/05/2010 11:30

Ugh! And the thought of all those unnecessary chemicals next to your most sensitive bits

I can remember in the very distant past (30 years or so), tampax making a scented tampon. Why on earth would you do that. You'd need to have a nose at the entry to your vag to be able to appreciate the whiff.
That sort of thing makes me very cross, what a message to be giving out. menstruation is dirty and smelly and you should be ashamed and cover it up with the smell of air freshener..

i dunno if anyone else can smell it, i can but i'm pregnant and i can smell everything... cant really ask anyone can i?

Tampax brought those stinky tampons out again recently I think. Who the hell would buy these!? It isn't necessary at all and surely not very healthy? Completely agree with you kreecher
