Have you seen those scented tampon adverts?

Yes scented tampons, not scented adverts. Does anyone else find the idea revolting? I actually shrieked in horror at the advert

Liesel - don't get upset with Alexsmum. We were taken in by a "nobody likes me, you're all bitches" thread by someone calling themselves dumbfluff. It turned out to be a total wind up by a regular poster with a mischievous sense of humour.
Alexsmum is just wondering if it's greeny up to her Thursday tricks again, is all.

if my minge suddenly started to smell "meadow fresh" i would be worried!

Iklboo · 27/07/2006 13:52

and I never said they should be taken out and shot!! I just said I, personally, don't like to see it (but it;s their business!)

NannyL · 27/07/2006 13:54

i would not dream of putting anything scented up there

Luckily with my mooncup ill never have to give proctor and gamble any more of my money eevr again anyway... and will not be trying them EVER

NannyL · 27/07/2006 13:59

ggirl a nanny friend of mine started using her moon cup aged 19 (ie just a teenage)

if id been aware that they existed id have used them as well. Even better at school as you dont run out of STs or tampons etc!

Picked up scented, sorry, deodorising, tampons by mistake in the US and was horrified.
I ended up buying something (unscented) called Playtex Slimfits, which are excellent for us light flow types - am using them up before buying a mooncup.

tbh I think a mooncup would terrify teenagers, but might be worth a try...

ggirl, I can see why you're not eager for dd to use tampons but I found them a revelation during the awkward teenage years as it really is impossible for people to tell you're using them. Pads always seemed to involve a lot of mess (hope modern ones are better) and terrible ripping noises as you peeled them off your pants in a cubicle, sure everyone else was listening...

i LOVE htose scented pant liners
they come in a balck and white spotty packet and smell " lunadyr fresh"
f abo

MrsBadger · 27/07/2006 14:03

scented knickers are one thing, deodorising inside your fanjo is something else entirely..

Iklboo · 27/07/2006 14:04

I switched to using tampons as a teen cos every time I asked my mum to get me some pads she'd come back with "princess & the pea mattress" bloody LOOP & BELT pads. I didn't (and would never have had) a sanitary belt & used to have to resort to sellotaping them to my kecks!

brimfull · 27/07/2006 14:05

lol at fanjo

Blackduck · 27/07/2006 14:13

I just can't see why you would want to put something scented inside yourself.....

Iklboo · 27/07/2006 14:13

Anyway....my twinkle already smells of a summer breeze

Provided the summer breeze is coming through the local sewage works

donnie · 27/07/2006 15:35

this thread is great!!

NomDePlume · 27/07/2006 15:36

what is the point of a scented tampon ?

NomDePlume · 27/07/2006 15:38

surely as soon as it is introduced to menstrual blood the 'scent' will be rendered completely useless anyway ??

bundle · 27/07/2006 15:39

scented anything in your pants/fanjo is WRONG

piglit · 27/07/2006 15:40

I agree. I bought scented liners by mistake once. Made me itch like mad. Dh asked if I had crabs.

Blu · 27/07/2006 15:41

Does this now mean I will be able to buy the full range of Tampon Scented perfume, talc, soap, etc?

Parfum de Tampon?

NomDePlume · 27/07/2006 15:43

I can't even use 'sensitive' bubble baths or oils, just one bath leaves me with 'feminine itching' (dontcha just love the VAGISIL ad ?!)...

Which reminds me, why tiptoe around the houses describing the symptoms when you name the cure VAGISIL ? May as well just say "Itchy twat ? Try Vagisil"

MrsBadger · 27/07/2006 15:47

pmsl at 'itchy twat?'

it's like the deodorant adverts that refer to 'underarms' - fgs they're ARMPITS

misdee · 27/07/2006 15:50

bearing in mind i cant even use standrad pads and tampons, why would anyone want scented ones? i used to dread the arrivial of my period as it would mean 7 days of pure hell down below.

why why why why

GGirl, maybe if you gave your DD and her best mates a funky washable pad each (in a party bag maybe) they might get hip to the ecosanpro ethos. But then you might just be the most evil embarrassing mother ever and she'll never forgive you LOL.
Seriously, let her have a little box of Natracare tampons to experiment with - the instructions have some really good info in them (eg This is NOT a contraceptive) that she can read in private.

On a smelly note, what's with that air freshener that comes in Natural Stone fragarance?
