Flashback: Lysol Is Not For Your Ladybits
Did you know Lysol used to advertise itself as appropriate for feminine hygiene? “A man marries a woman because he loves her,” the copy for this vintage ad reads. “Instead of blaming him if married love begins to cool, she should question herself.” According to this retro-minded public service message, a woman should “safeguard her dainty feminine allure by practicing complete feminine hygiene” with… a household disinfectant. Do not try this at home, people. Your vagina is for lovin’—not Lysol. [mrbill].

Why are women forced to groom, disinfect and scent the lady parts, but all men have to do is drop their pants? Today most of the stuff on the market to scent and cleanse the vag really aren’t healthy.

I have a bottle that I found in an old house I used to live in that gives the dilution directions to use lysol for douching. Not that I’d use it, I just had to keep it on hand for the horror factor.

just shows our current undying plight for unrealistic perfection (or a concept far removed from) life isn’t something new.

I’ve seen that Lysol ad on some other Web site before. It’s so blatantly horrible that I can’t help but laugh. I’m surprised they never tried to sell WD-40 as lube.
