People are putting balls of herbs into their vaginas to ‘detox’ their wombs

[Alicja]

essential oils can and do serve a purpose, for instance, compounds in eucalyptus oil and thyme oil are the active ingredients in Listerine, and PineSol uses diluted pine oil. the problem is that very rarely you will see essential oils with "FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY" labels or instructions on how to dilute properly. also the industry is barely regulated, which makes matters so much worse.

anyways, don't soak your tampons in tea tree oil.

[Imagine20]

Why do these homeopathic remedies always seem ridiculous?  Yup, shove a bundle of herbs up your vag and hold it in there for a few days. Here are some awful pictures to prove it works. 

After reading about the Lysol, my lady parts burn just thinking about it.

Love that it starts off with a huge dose of shame. "Husband not interested lately? Don't blame him, it's probably YOUR FAULT!!!!" 

[ariel9]

My first initial thought when I saw this on Facebook was that it was some sort of herbal tea or toxin. This looks so scary to stick into your nether regions.

Oh, but it's natural. Herbs are safe! You know, like digitalis. Or poison oak. Or hemlock.

I like how that particular ad for Lysol mentions "dainty" or "daintiness" no less than 3 times!  " Charm" and "dainty" were words frequently seen in magazine ads during WW II for feminine hygiene products and deodorants. Meds tampons (10 for 19 cents) had a "dainty" applicator, Mum and Arrid deodorants protected a girl's charm and wouldn't rot dresses or men's shirts. Kotex was perfect for those "trying" or "problem" days.  Many feminine hygiene products did offer an informative booklet though.  All a girl would need to do is send in a self-addressed stamped envelope -business sized, with a 3 cent stamp!  There is also an ad for the book Women's Personal Hygiene by Leona W Chambers who invented the first menstrual cup.  I wouldn't quite trust this ad for Adieu all-vegetable hair remover as far as it being "so safe that a baby can eat it".

Actually, every bottle of essential oil I have states on the label "not to be taken internally" at the very least.  You can guess that I don't buy DoTerra or Young Living stuff.

[salex]

I may be wrong but wasn't the lysol douche a sort of "On the sly" contraceptive or home abortionethod like douching with "soapy water."

I heard that douchingwith coca cola after sex would work as a contraceptive when I was in jr high in the 70s and that rumor had to come from somewhere 

Btw the girl who told me this got pregnant freshman year

yeah, I'm pretty sure Aura Cacia, NOW, and Whole Foods have a "for external use only" label, or something along those lines on the bottle. you know, the brands that are sold in stores and not by your next-door neighbor.

This is why I am so thankful for my 7th grade Family Studies (home ec + sex ed) teacher. She seemed all prim and proper, but she seemed to know about any sex act, no matter how obscure or debauched (I'm pretty sure she just read Urban Dictionary, the Kama Sutra, and The Joy of Sex in case any smart alecks in class tried to ask her what Doggy Style or a Cleveland Steamer was, which they frequently did), made tables showing the pros and cons of different forms of contraception, and gave us a huge list of things that are NOT contraception and will NOT stop you from getting pregnant or getting an STD. The Coke one you mentioned was on there with a big note that said that it will probably give you a nasty yeast infection. No one in my class got pregnant (as far as I know; they may very well have been getting abortions left and right).

Off topic, but I'm trying to decide if I want to know what that is...

Just wanted to share, I am thinking of trying a cayenne satchel to spice things up for Valentines day.

And just when I was feeling pleasantly smug about the fact that I would never in a billion years be stupid enough to fall for this crap about freshening up the lady bits with a bag of vaginal pot pourri, somebody has to mention a Cleveland Steamer.    I know better than to look these things up.  I have been burned by   this sort of thing before (hello Dirty Sanchez !) A couple of posters even  warned of unpleasant consequences, and still, I couldn't resist  looking it up.

So now I know what a Cleveland Steamer is (what is WRONG with people? ) and I  realize that if I fall this easily for the allure of unknown slang terms, then I'm not quite as far above the vagina stuffers as I thought I was.  Still think it sounds gross and probably dangerous, but Imma gonna go wipe that smug look off my face now.  (Right after I finish with the brain bleach )

Yeah, so far I've resisted the temptation to Google it.

So if Clevelamd Steamer didn't shock you (I will be twitching and eating my hair in the vanilla corner), I have a suggestion for how you should spend a fun evening.

 

 

1. Buy shares in a brain bleach company.

2. Play this song over and over.

 

 

3. After it has become a firm earworm, allow yourself to wonder if 'Cosby Sweater' has a deeper meaning.

4. Make vague attempts to quell your curiosity.

5. Give in. Look up 'Cosby Sweater' at urban dictionary.

6. Use the profits from your investment in the brain bleach company to buy a brain/eye/body bleach cleanse.

7. Consider that it was my FATHER IN LAW who told me about Cosby Sweaters. He loved the song so much and was so upset when he found out what it really meant.

8. Repeat step 6.
