Femfresh

[yellowraincoat]

There's already a thread on this in chat, but thought we could do with one here too.

femfresh

Again, like the Girly Girls Love Science When It Means You Can Wear Make-UP!! campaign, this has had a lot of negative feedback. Post it on your FB wall, post on their wall, let them know that their useless product and shitty marketing is an abomination.

Please don't waste my time posting FB, I don't do it.

I wish posters would mark FB and utube (since I don't always want the sound on).

Yes, it is an FB link.

I haven't clicked, out of laziness, but was thinking about why women would need to wear daily pantyliners as if any feminine odour is disgusting.

Ha! I remember our barking mad English teacher, a couple of centuries ago, railing against Femfresh. "Take my advice and don't spend a penny on it,", she declared. Collapse of class in helpless giggles.

Christ. Is this all you can find to froth over? Seriously?

Waaaay back in the mists of MN folklore, there was a post that turned into a support thread for women to go "cold turkey" in giving up their panty liners and feminine deodorants (even the name makes me spit)

it was quite successful, as I recall < fond memories >

cat, is this the only thread you can get worked up over ? seriously ?

Not worked up at all AF. Just amused.

Nowt wrong with personal hygiene. It's common courtesy between couples/partners.

Is it the Fem bit that horrifies you most?? Do you disagree with muscly male torsos on the Lynx adverts??

I disagree massively with the objectification of women on the Lynx adverts and have complained to the ASA recently.

Yes I'm offended by the Lynx adverts.

I'm also offended that the female "scent" can be considered SO offensive that I must distract all odours that may indicate the fact I have a vagina.

I find the idea of making women feel dirty about their bodies to sell stuff abhorrent

Feminine deodorants are not a valid consumer product, IMO. In order to sell them, the promoters have to make women feel guilty about the natural state of their sexual organs

And for that reason, I judge it as a Feminist issue

Well I stand corrected then

Pointless product. If you've got a smelly minge you need a doctor not shower gel!

Looks like they've issued an apology.

That poem can't be for real, surely?

If so, well, they've got half of it right (froofroo, come ON) but surely the perpetuating of stinky vagina myths is the more worrying side.

I wish it were! Though somehow I doubt it.

Is there an equivalent anti-smeg/breezyballs product for men out there? I've never seen one but then I probably don't browse the right bits of Boots/Superdrug to notice.

ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

fucking brilliant, wheezo

I don't see the BreezyBalls being given the fucking hard sell

Oi ! Blokes ! Your cock niffs of cheese ! Use this product or you are not a proper man! (or other similar shit)

Shit AF....have I had my one and only Dragons' Den moment on a public forum?

Well this is the thing innit? Why do vaginas have this stinky reputation? Admittedly I have no knowledge of anyone else's close-up but what is this fishy connotation that is a regular playground taunt? TMI but periods to me are metallic (blood) - and obviously a shower a day keeps the metal away - but the rest of the time well....s'all a bit meh - certainly nothing objectionable (although having said that xP did say I smelt of oestrogen when pregnant which could be true - if either of us even knew what that smelt of)

But well I have had the misfortunate to encounter more than one offputtingly smelly appendage one to whom I did mention the Dr to

What I don't get is why fannies have the fishy reputation when it is more often MEN who have the smelly cock.

Get the Breezy Balls out, lads.

I like your style, wheezo

and FWIW, the aroma of fresh, healthy vag should be a turn-on for a real man

and if it isn't...get rid of the fucker, don't dose yourself up with Shake'N'Vag, fgs

As Sarah Silverman says, if you have just washed and your vagina still smells, you don't need vaginal deodorant - you need a doctor.

Obviously the packaging will be suitably shaped and the Large value pack cannister of BreezyBalls will actually be travel-sized so everyone gets to feel good (after all, there is no way a Dorothy Perkins size 14 is actually a size 14 so what's good for the slightly overweight goose is good for the slightly less well endowed gander)

heh
