New "feminine hygiene" product makes me rethink having a vagina

As if all of the existing "feminine hygiene" commercials weren't bad enough (who could forget the mother-daughter talk on the beach about feeling "not so fresh."), now we have to deal with a whole new generation of products that tell us we're inherently dirty.

So ladies, make way for Vaginal Cleansing Film (VCF). It's like a big ole Listerine breath strip for your pussy. Or a scented mini-dental dam that dissolves. If you're not already huddled on the floor in the fetal position, check out the lovely fragrances VCF is available in: Chamomile, Island Breeze, Fresh Flowers, and Baby Powder.

OK, I can see the Fresh Flowers and Baby Powder, but what marketing genius thought that a flavor of tea and an umbrella-laden drink would be appropriate vaginal scents? Just think, if they made a Long Island Iced Tea version, your partner could catch a buzz while noshing.

What is truly hysterical about this nonsense is that Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp., who put out VCF, thinks that they�re like the pussy innovators of the century. Check out the first couple of lines from VCF press release:

Dump the douche. Toss the towelette. Spare the spray. Now there's a modern, convenient alternative to old-fashioned feminine hygiene products�

(Dump the douche!? Wasn't that my mom's advice about my last boyfriend?)

Yeah ladies, give those antiquated douches and sprays the boot; now we have a brand-spanking new way to feel bad about our vaginas!

Am i the only one who notices that there are "white girl" scents and then, on the left, "vaguely asian" scents? i guess tea comes from china, and um, islands are asian?

"Dryness, cleanliness and air access" are three basic principles of hygiene of female reproductive system; most important of them is, certainly, cleanliness.

In the late thirties there are publications on hygiene and cosmetics themes, and also a life and supply, recipes, councils to mistresses here are located, advertising, a fashion, patterns of female and children's clothes - usually, is the loose leaf with one pattern on which its detailed description is applied. So anything it is surprising in it is not present. Spirit of the times...

Female organism itself manages rather well the hygiene and without the aid of any means

The British regeneration success stories appear to happen in spite of obstacles and lack of power. The current level of centralization is holding cities back. Without revenue-raising powers, how can a city have a vision? Within Europe, Britain has one of the lowest levels of locally raised taxation.

Contrast this with the astonishing revival of Spanish cities like Valencia, Bilbao, Barcelona, Malaga and Grenoble. Their local control over resources and the ability to raise their own taxes is one of the highest in Europe and is acknowledged as a driver of their vision for themselves.
