Comment on why just "now and then" isn't enough

“My smoking doctor told me to spray my pussy with Lysol or my husband would leave me for a younger woman and it would be my fault for having a stinky pussy.”
How did a brand name survive for 100 years after this??
Not spray. Irrigate. Flood. A vagina isn’t a bowling shoe.
And it’s because it was men advertising to women about feminine hygiene when they didn’t understand how women’s bodies even worked.
Ironically, at a lower dose, Lysol as a douche was actually an effective method of bith control because it messed up the body’s biome so much. But, on a long enough time line, sure enough, it’ll kill people, too, through chemical burns and inflammation.
Based on what I understand about feminine hygiene, probably by wrecking the biome of anyone’s vagina that used it such that they were dependent on Lysol to prevent whatever else moved in from taking over after the Lysol killed the good along with the bad the first time, along with manipulative marketing to trick other women and girls into thinking they need to use it so they use it that one time to build the dependence.
The real question is how in the hell did they pivot from douche to “all-purpose kitchen and bath cleaner.”
Because it killed all the kitchen & bath cleaners.
it worked so good on the pussay it was logical that the housewives would try it other stinky places. /sarcasm

Because it wasn’t shocking to anyone 100 years ago and they adapted to the times?
