Speaking of periods...
Whoever the fuck came up with scented tampons is a total douchebag. My crotch has not smelled like baby powder since I was three years old. Why would I want it to now?
I mean, it's not like the powder scent actually masks or changes the way anything smells down there. Is somebody really gonna get all up in my business (while I'm riding the crimson tide, no less) and think, "powdery fresh, how pleasant"? I'm thinking no.
Why do they continue to manufacture these? And why do I keep managing to pick them off the shelf in such a hurry that I don't realize I accidentally grabbed the scented ones again until after I get home and open the box to a whiff of artificial baby powder smell?!
And I hate that powder smell anyway. I never buy powder-scented deodorant or... okay, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that frequently comes in Powder Fresh. But if there is something, I won't buy that, either. I'm not repulsed by other people wearing it, but I'd buy a Speed Stick or some Old Spice before I pick anybody's powder-scented girl deodorant.

In my experience, the powder fresh (deoderant) does not mix well with my essence. Maybe I should bark up your deoderant tree. I think I would sooner use a pad or some other alterna device rather than scented tampons... that's a lil freaky- kinda like using those special sprays...
amen!
Plus, it can't be good for you to put all those extra chemicals inside you. Durrr!
kinda like using those special sprays - Yeah, that's some messed up shit, too. If you feel a need to deodorize that area, two things could be happening. Either you're a tad bit neurotic about it. Or if it really smells that bad then you have a much bigger problem.
Actually, I use a vaguely baby-powderesque deodorant in the, um, pitular region, not because I have any particular desire to remind myself of the nursery, but because this particular formation is the absolute slowest I've ever seen at eating away at my T-shirts.
Make of that what you will.
How about all the women in the bathrooms at work who powder themselves or their panties or both or whatever at work? I have slipped on barely detectable piles of powder more than once while racing in to piss, and I find it incredibly gross to see it all over the toilet seat. On top of that, the women who do it smell nas-TAY anyway. It's not hiding anything when I can tell you haven't washed ya hooha in at LEAST a couple of days just by the trail that wafts away from your crotch as you leave the stall. It shouldn't linger either. Ack.
I was horrified that they came out with scented tampons -- this after we were all told that non-white toilet paper is bad for our tender bits.
I accidentally bought some scented tampons once and I just kept them in my desk at the office and told everyone they could use them if they needed to.v The smell of them wafted up through their little plastic wrappers, the box, and my metal desk drawer. I could smell them as soon as I walked into the office every morning. I can't imagine how bad they'd stink after mixing with poodie smells. *hork*
Oh my god. That's gross!
