I would be MORE offended

and that breath!

I would've been like "What have you been eating? Shit Pops? Is there an asshole in the roof of your throat??!"

NDRU said:

Yeah, aluminum is the issue and it's in most deodorant sticks. But there are some without. Adidas makes a few.

some people use body powder instead of deodorant and it seems to work.

Shut.Up.Fool!!!!! Not "shit pops"

paintedlady said:

ah but that's where you're wrong!

not really, but the truly offensive smelling people I encounter are almost always men. Maybe more homeless people are men?

Ace said:

just to be nit picky, it's in anti perspirant, specifically, not deodorant

If you ever smell a woman in a situation where she hasn't washed in a long time... trust me... you will be so traumatized, you'll NEVER forget it.

paintedlady said:

I hope to only have to take your word on that

NDRU said:

I met one..... she was homeless and was looking for tissue paper to stuff her shoes with. She asked me for the tissue sheets that we used to line gift boxes with. I gave her an entire box and some of my money and sent her out my store.. had to close the store for the day because of the stench... she was in the store for maybe five minutes tops. The DM got a call from the Mall people and when the DM came to the store hours later and he told me I did the right thing and we absorbed the mall fine, the store smelled so bad that we had to call people in to deoderize it the next morning. I am not kidding, and I felt so bad for that woman. It was just awful.

NDRU said:

But are there deodorants on the market that don't include anti-perspirant?

Ace said:

yeah, deodorant is basically just perfume, anti perspirant blocks your pores.

NDRU said:

No, I know that. What I mean is Are there actually deodorants on the market that don't include anti-perspirant?

Ace said:

yeah, definitely, all the health store stuff, like Toms of Maine, Trader Joe's, the crazy crystal thing

One time I met Randy Castillo who at the time was the drummer for Ozzy Osbourne (he later replaced Tommy Lee in Motley Crue for a brief period before his death). His arm pits stunk so bad but I didn't know until after he put his arm around me for a picture. He was wearing a tank top! My shoulder smelled like a chili cook off for the rest of day. I was so afraid people would think it was me that stunk.

NDRU said:

Smart guy, that Larry.

SCNDLS said:

That ain't Method. That's coming up with a story so people think you worked so very hard on your role.

Method is about finding the part of you that could be that person in that situation. It's an internal process.

Getting stinky is working from the outside in - not the inside out.

poor Julia

dip her in Lysol

ZombieKitten said:

OMG!!!! They actually sold Lysol as a coochie cleaner?!

ZombieKitten said:

Where in the HELL do I begin??? First of all, is this a real ad? It looks like it is. If it is, ain't this some bullshit? Yet another piece of brainwashing convincing women of the uncleanliness of their girly parts. This is a hot ass mess. Douching with an industrial strength chemical to regain your husband's love. If that's the alternative that muthafucka can kick rocks. I wonder how may women suffered from chronic infections and other illnesses because of this misguided advice from doctors and this fucked up ad campaign. And douching with SALT!!! Who the fuck thought of THAT shit???? Un-fucking-believable.

paintedlady said:

Now that I think of it, I remember seeing that lil bottle under my grandmother's sink with that red hot water bottle that smelled like vinegar. And what's with the cobweb metaphor, are they saying her coochie grew webs cuz Tom refused to break her off??? Hot.ass.mess. of an ad campaing.

apparently

SCNDLS said:

I googled it, there are several different ads, all along the same lines

"Good morning,

I happened to be checking the 'Net just to see if good old Lysol would be safe to use on some new Pergo floors my hubby recently installed in a couple of rooms.

I'm going on 89 years YOUNG . . . LOL . . . and was very amused by the Lysol douche ad. I don't know if I'm "still the girl my husband married" as I have pretty bad osteoarthritis (could it have been the Lysol?), but used Lysol as a douche and contraceptive ever since I married at age 17!! I had two children, both sons who turned out very well, in spite of the Lysol!! LOL

It's rather funny as I used it every day for many, many years because back in the early days, we didn't have the "Pill" and Lysol was used after "the act" to prevent unwanted pregnancies by just about every lady I knew, including my mother and grandmother who had just ONE child each.

Oh, well, we must have been TOUGH as I don't recall any problems!! LOL. Just thought I'd drop a line as I got a big kick out of your site and the old info.

Sincerely,

****"

totally preying on the insecurities of young women

ZombieKitten said:

The funny thing is that these adds are from a time when women were supposed to be chaste and wholesome, yet the whole point of these ads is that wifey can't get none cuz her coochie stanks. I mean, how demure and ladylike is that???

SCNDLS said:

yes, women weren't supposed to even like sex

it's complicated to be a woman

ZombieKitten said:

And I GUARANTEE it was male doctors who recommended women use Lysol to clean "down there" and it was male ad execs that came up with this assinine campaign.

SCNDLS said:

yup.
how often did people bathe back then I wonder

bboy87 said:

oh lawd..the worst is when someone been stank all day and by nite they smell rusty as hell cause its dried up blahh!

ZombieKitten said:

I thought daily? those are real? That's so messed up.... I was hoping those were fakes. dang.


I hope those women in the day ran a "No pussy for you campaign" in response to those jacked up ads.
