So very creepy!

[hannahsarah.livejournal.com]

But just because you're female!

OMG, I don't even know where to start with that. *headdesk*

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

I remember those ads! I was just a little tiny kid and was all "WTF does that mean?" Of course, Mom was no help when I asked her.

i thought living with a man is a reason to STOP wearing nightdresses...

I've never said it before...

[radteacherally.livejournal.com]

but then again I've never really had a reason to....

THIS!

Haha;)

[etinterrapax.livejournal.com]

Um, mint?

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Were you expecting cherry?

[kimmy-kun.livejournal.com]

Just a whisper of mint.

Meow!

[evilfoo.livejournal.com]

Ok, it's a bad pun but... just a whisper of (cat)mint.

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

What is with. That ad copy? There are way. Too. Many. Sentence fragments. I wonder who. Wrote it. William. Shatner?

And for you single girls, you should use Demure too to keep your Teddy Bear from smelling skanky. Yes, we know about that!

[bernthewitch.livejournal.com]

I know. I just. Can't deal. With the full stops. It's like. Someone. Is taking a spade. To my head.

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

that is disturbing as hell.

I have never thought about ...vaginal odor

[alysonfun.livejournal.com]

the way vaginas smell is the way they're supposed to smell (with the exception of an ailment). why the fuck would you want to smell minty? like you're chewing gum with your vag?

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

Or, perhaps, Lysol?

Really, it's always something. We're supposed to be worrying about SOMETHING about ourselves that's not perfect! Yet, it's only in the last few years men have started worrying about their appearances on a level beginning to approach women's. Which I do NOT like. We should all be happy with ourselves, as long as we're healthy.

[miss-october.livejournal.com]

"...very real, very womanly problem." Ha!

Really, if you smell that bad, see a doctor, don't spray it...it's probably an infection. That's what gets me about those ads.

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

Womanly, seriously. Where's the ad for minty-fresh spray deodorant for sweaty balls?

[gildedcentury.livejournal.com]

When are they just going to come out with a version of those little evergreen air fresheners that women can hang between their legs?

[mschilepepper.livejournal.com]

DAMMIT! I can't think about those damn tree thingies without remembering the movie Se7en. *shudder*

[afranjes.livejournal.com]

Mint? It's like a breath spray for your ladybits...

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

Only if it makes you tasty, too. ;)

[whoseline_wlsc]

I think if it's that bad, you should get it checked out. haha I don't know if I want to smell minty there.

[deleriumd.livejournal.com]

Minty fresh?

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

Your teddy bear didn't like your vag stank either... It's just his mouth was sewn up. Sorry... This ad is just nuts... I couldn't help myself.

A merest "whif of mint"?

"Gee honey, your vagina smells just like doublemint gum! That's WONDERFUL!"

[jena.livejournal.com]

Doesn't the fact that it smells of mint signal to your partner that perhaps something is not right? Surely no man is stupid enough to think that the vagina is actually naturally minty-fresh.

[fj.livejournal.com]

Surely no man is stupid enough...

You flatter my gender so.

Call now and get added yeast infections with every bottle!

[bernthewitch.livejournal.com]

This thing is more likely to give you a yeasty than anything else out there (maybe not Lysol though...) and then you WILL be smellin' all kinds of funky. Well done Demure. And an additional well done for making woman even more insecure "Living with a man can be the most beautiful thing. When you are". So smell = beauty? Heterosexual relationships = epitome of beauty? Grrrrrrreat.

Finally. I'd like to say. Something about the sentence. Fragments. Please. For the love. Of god. Ban full stops. Sincerely. William Shatner.

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

MINT? IN MY VAGINA? It might have been more likely than I thought.

wtf, if your twat stinks then take a fucking shower, don't put nasty chemicals up in your shit. The vagina is self-cleansing.

And I doubt your man wants your pussy to smell like toothpaste

[cinnamonbite.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU! EXACTLY!
How 'bout a hint of SOAP! Daaaaaaaaamn!

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

Oh and I sleep with a sock monkey and my boyfriend tells me all the time that he's jealous of it. I'm 25, idgaf.

[hannahsarah.livejournal.com]

I'm 45, and I sleep with a stuffed beaver named Bedelia.

Go ahead, make the jokes. They practically write themselves.

[hannahsarah.livejournal.com]

OMG, you guys, I'm dying over here. Tears. Rolling down. Dyin'!

I'd be scared that if my bits started smelling minty, he might forget what he's supposed to be doing down there and start chewing on them. NOM NOM NOM ow!

[glass-houses.livejournal.com]

LMFAO EXCUSE ME BRB DYING

[koneko-wish.livejournal.com]

You know, I really am in the same camp as people who say "Just 'cause that's how it should smell doesn't meant I have to like it".

But MINT?! Really??!

[petalbentdevil.livejournal.com]

No lavender or Ocean Breeze?

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Actually, Teddy noticed. He was just too polite to mention it. Now spray your intimate bits so they're minty fresh!

And don't complain about any stank from your man's crotch. That's pure virility.

[brinylon.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEWWWWWWWW!

[randomneses.livejournal.com]

lolol wat?

[phyrbyrd.livejournal.com]

'Because you're female and girls STINK!' Fuck, what is this? I don't even.

Also, I'm 28 and I sleep with a cuddly lamb named Medium Truffles and a yak named Sally.
This is not about to stop soon.
