Douche as skunk deodorizer!! That is truly inspired. Wish I’d known when our terrier got doused. A neighbor had recommended vanilla: for the record, this merely results in your dog smelling like skunk cookies.

Less egregious but still annoying: flavored lube. If I wanted the taste of synthetic strawberries, I’d go to the dentist.

And oh, yes, I remember reading about the Lyson douches in the excellent “Pink Think” by Lynn Peril. (who has a website, btw: http://www.pinkthink.com/. highly recommended).

I suddenly had a vision of a Willy Wonka brand douche that makes your vagina taste like a full three-course meal.

If only they could stop the people who sample it from turning into giant clitorises.

Now your cunt can smell like lavender, chamomile or aloe-veraâ€¦

What, no chocolate?

Side note: washing the female genitals with soap and water is actually a bad idea unless you’re using specially-designed pussy soap. Soap dries and irritates the tender skin and can cause a host of nasties to take up residence in your intimate bits by whacking out the ph down there.

Holy sweatin’ musk glands, I forgot all about that ball-smell! There’s really nothing quite like it, is there, animal, vegetable, or mineral.

Ack! Ack, ack, ack!

Sorry… hairball.

If my man wants to smell lavender, he can damn well go buy some. If he’s got his face between my legs, he knows what he’s going to be getting, and it damn well does not need to be “improved.”

And why, oh why, is there no counterpart for men? Oh, right: because pussy stinks, but the smell of balls in tighty-whities is the world’s sweetest bouquet. Fah!

douching has got be one of my top 10 feminist peeves (of course, #1 being white supremacist capitalist patriarchy). Just when I thought it was safe to peruse the feminine “hygiene” aisle without going completely apeshit (as oppsed to simmering anger), douching has reared its ugly head once again. And not only has it risen from the bottom shelf of your local Val-U-Mart, but douches are now sporting trendy psuedo-feminist, holistic garbaldy-goop slogans…Like sweet spots…has anyone seen this shit? Now your cunt can smell like lavender, chamomile or aloe-vera… and I quote:
“SweetSpot LabsÂ® products are “need” created collections designed to complement and complete beauty. Formulated with girl-friendly essences and gentle botanicals that only enhance you. Use effortlessly and often to make the scent of a woman even better. Good bye feminine hygiene. Hello SweetSpot LabsÂ® Intimate Groomingâ„¢.”

This whole youngesters douching thing makes me wonder just how horrible and dirty and weird girls are taught that their “loins”/sex bits are - between the douching, and the full-on pubic shaving that seems to be going on.
