Women want scented sanitary protection - really?

[PrincessHunker]

Convo on Radio 4 this afternoon about sanpro - woman heading some trade association or something for absorbent disposable sanpro manufacturers said we absolutely did want scented towels and tampons.

She said she and her daughter would have trouble living for a week each month without disp sanpro

sani bin smell. nope dont fancy that at all

Can't imagine anyone wanting scented pads.

Then again, I can't imagine anyone wanting to use pads/towels instead of tampons.

it's really sad to think they paid some poor women to test these. the person whi thought that they were a good idea needs to be shot!

urgh tampons are yick. They stick. Coz they are thick. They make me sick. And so says Vick.

They could call the scented ones tampongs.

eugh im offsky.too icky for me.hokey dokey non bodily fluid thread, fancy that

periods are shit. someone needs to develpo a pill to either A) stop them from happening or; B) develop a pill so that it all comes away at once so you're not on for 5 days.

oh god you'd be able to smell when ladies had their AF [bleugh]

what like cumulative priods, get em over withim still offsky id rather have a good rubber neck an aibu,fancy that

Cote, I find tampons to be foul things that make me need prescription painkillers, but even so, I'd rather use them instead of just towels. Fortunately I now have a mooncup

dont fancy them mooncup things at all, lilets for me

I don't really dislike having a period. It's kind of cathartic.

You know the adds for wahing powder where husbands gratefully smell their fragranced laundered shirts. I'm imagining an ad now where the family smilingly inhale the just-washed freshness of fragranced Auntie Flo.

Yeah, one trip to the loo and that's it, over and done with. No need for tampons, towels or mooncups. No waking up in the morning to find you've got a red patch, no being caught short when you're shopping, mo mess, no fuss. PLEASE make this happen.

"ooh what's that smell? Has someone sprayed air freshener?"

"nah, it's just Carol. She's got the Deckerators in".

This woman certainly doesn't.

Yuck!

Mooncup was really uncomfortable. Kept trying to escape.

ehmmm undercarriage deodarant. ooo gross

hmm, was thinking about this thread when I popped to the loo just now, and spotted my pack of towels on the shelf and had a curious sniff... now, I've never bought scented sanitary products, and it doesn't say on the packet that they are scented, but they definitely smell slightly "soapy"! (asda own brand jobbies)

I was going to comment on what a stupid and damaging concept they were, and I own the bloody things.
