There have suddenly been a load of scented sanitary products on the market, they had these things in the US for years, and I am wondering why on earth they have suddenly turned up in the UK now too.
I noticed an increase in 'YOUR VAGINA IS DIRTY AND GROSS, YOU MUST MAKE IT SMELL LIKE FLOWERS!' adverts for things like Femfresh and Always with Freshelle, and it made me really sad to know how popular they are, but this takes it to a new level.
Commercial tampons and pads are bad for vaginal health to begin with, what with general risks along with the chemicals and bleach used to unnecessarily bleach products, but now fragrance to make our vaginas smell like flowers, or ultimately like fish when they cause infections, rather than smelling like vaginas?
Why has this trend suddenly come from? Do you think it is commercial pad and commercial tampon companies getting scared about safer options taking their customers away, what with Keeper being advertised on television now?
