Hail to the V

Remember back in the early 90s when we were told we could be fresh as "a summer's eve" if we only douched enough? The message has changed somewhat(the product actually) but we are still supposed to think our vaginas are a nasty swamp. Only now our sisters of color are included, they apparently also need some tending "down there". I believe this ad is for an African-American,theres also a Hispanic and then the all-purpose white girl. That one refers to the vagina as a "vertical smile". Its all creepy, somewhat racist and strange. Can you imagine the casting call for the talking vagina hand? I guess the bottom line is that people will talk about it. Negative attention works to get things sold I imagine. Hail to the V indeed.

I've never thought that I needed to douche myself. No matter what you use to bathe, in the end, there's no mistaking the scent of a woman. I'd stay away from any special, fragrant "cleanser". It'll certainly confuse things.
