Scented pantyliners
 

I was wondering, after searching through the shelves of my local supermarket, what is the obsession with scented pantyliners? There seemed to be a whole range of different scents to grace our ladybits with, but what I don't get is why. What do other ladies think?

I think they're a dumb selling point. Ever use one on a summer day? They don't exactly leave one as fresh as when you got out of the shower. In fact, they act like a seal and the times I have used them(at the end of a period only), I not only don't smell spring fresh or baking soda pure or whatever, I feel like I need another shower-they seem to add to the personal scent problem, not eradicate it. Ugh, now I need a shower!

Like ngdawg said, they really only cause more scent problems than help. Also, whatever chemicals they use to produce the scent often causes rashes and other problems for many women, so I just stay away. I'm sure the reason they are as popular as they are is that so many women are very self conscious about their period.

Blech, I HATE them! That icky baby powder smell makes me want to retch, and I feel like I trail a tell-tale scent behind me that says "look at me, I'm having my period!!" If you change your pad often enough and are healthy, there shouldn't BE a smell to cover up.

I dont buy scented anything....in regards to feminine hygiene products....I find it kind of pointless....besides they dont have one that smells like chocolate chip cookies

They still make scented liners?

eew... I don't get it.

The less chemicals and other artificial stuff down there the better. 'nuff said.

I've heard that scented tampons can cause irritations...and we all know what irritations lead to. I think they send a horrible message to women.

"You stink down there so here's yet another perfume for you to use to cover up your nasty odor."

We should have perfume attached to ourselves that spritzes every 5 minutes to avoid exposing the public to the obscene odor that is woman. *insert eye roll here*

They seem to be making a comeback around these parts...

I'll pass.

Shani, I love it - chocolate chip scented!! :lol:

I don't do scented, ever. I've bought scented tampons on accident, and actually returned them to the store in horror. I think it's a holdover from the 50's or something... just ridiculous. Like my cooter needs any more trauma while it's bleeding!

LOLOL!
I luv you, ShaniFaye!
