An internal deodorant?
Woman's Weekly: 20th July 1957
Regular readers may remember this Amplex advert, where I poo-pooed the idea of taking deodorant pills. Dear reader, I was WRONG, SO WRONG. I honestly can't imagine how an internal deodorant would work, or how it wouldn't wreak havoc inside the body. Also, check out the wording of an advert that was most likely written by men, for a product most likely developed by men...

Wow, I didn't know your period gave you bad breath!
Yeah...men certainly don't understand this intimate problem, do they?
I had no idea I should worry about bad breath once a month? I will start with that now.
(At least there are pills that banish breath.)
It reads a bit like modern email spam, actually.
That smelly woman looks so glum. Cheer up, Stinky.
When I lived in America I was amazed at the amount of vaginal douches on display in shops, and the fact that most women seemed to use them as a matter of course, and you were odd if you didn't use them. I hope it's not that way now, they are so bad for you.
>(At least there are pills that banish breath.)
That sounds like a quote from a suicide letter.
I'm with Jo on this, I thought it was something else! Not something that would ever tempt me.
Even going back to the douche comment, most ladies know that the vagina is self-cleansing, it's like over-cleaning a wound if you like, you're just going to invite infection/bad things.
Oh dear god! Thank god they're tablets... I was imagining something much scarier!
