The Problems With Using Feminine Deodorant Sprays

1. Truth Be Known, Feminine Deodorant Sprays Are Worthless and a Waste of Money
FDS brand, for example, tells female consumers in their advertising that they can have a "clean, fresh feeling" ("down there") all day. The truth is, as long as a female is healthy, bathes with soap and water daily, changes her underwear every day, and changes her menstrual tampons or pads often, her crotch won't emit any foul odors.

2. Feminine Deodorant Sprays Can Disrupt A Female's Vaginal Ecosystem
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) , nature made female vaginas to be self-cleaning. A vagina contains mucous membranes. These mucosa shield the vagina by discharging mucous, salts and enzymes. They also draw in nutrients. (Your nose also contains mucous membranes. Would you spray deodorant up your nose to make it "fresh and clean"?) All a female has to do is gently clean the outside of the vagina with soap and water on a daily basis to keep her crotch from smelling bad. (No shower gels, please. They can irritate the vagina, as well as other sensitive private parts.)
