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..

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
