No, it’s not an Onion ad. Summers Eve wants your womanly garden to be fresh when you going in looking for that raise.
Pffft. Summer’s eve? I warsh my vagina with a rag on a stick.
What a bunch of douches.
Huh.
I work in construction. I’m sure a freshly washed vagina will be noticed under the stanky funk of working all day in 90 degree weather with dirt, dust, machine oil, sawdust, industrial cleaning products, and my own funky brand of sweat. :rolleyes: Like those “feminine wipes” (do they have “masculine wipes”?) are going to make any difference whatsoever. “Yeah, that Broomstick - smells like a dead goat that’s been blasted by a skunk but wow - did you catch a whiff of her cootchie? Mmmmm! Like spring a fresh wildflowers!” Actually, with the guys I work with, I’d probably have better luck douching with beer and BBQ sauce, that seems to be what interests them.
Even when I worked in a corporate office, this was not something I worried about. Seriously, when you’re fully clothed no one should be able to smell your vaj. I am flabbergasted as the notion this would be considered a serious part of preparing for asking for a raise.
Unless you work in an environment where you have to be sans clothes when asking for a raise…
This is what the guys with the sandalwood-scented balls want you to think. They’ve already won.
At the time they were first promoting vaginal sprays, they also pushed several lines of men’s crotch deodorants, like the imaginitively-named “Man’s Other Deodorant”
Maybe you would be president of this company instead of “working all day in 90 degree weather with dirt, dust, machine oil, sawdust, industrial cleaning products” if you had better vaj hygiene.
This is really desperation. Summers Eve must be taking a hit in this economy - what would you rather spend your discretionary income on - sweet smelling hoo-hoo wipes or, say, food or gas? I imagine the great minds behind this ad: “Think, guys, think! All those unemployed women, loitering around their houses, stinkin’ up the joints …how do you make 'em start buying Summers Eve?..I know, they’ll “need” wash and wipes when they go out in public looking for work!”
“Ms. Bandersnatch, I’d prepared to give you the raise you requested, but first I have to ask you to explain the family of pelicans that followed you into my office…”
Some of the women at my yoga class could do with asking for a raise.
As the commentator pointed out on the site, “Focus on the things you’ve done to improve the bottom line” is listed as #8 on the list. :rolleyes:
Wait, how are #8 and #1 different, again?
Oh my God, Revtim just won the SDMB.
The smell can be quite noticeable if the person does not have great hygiene.
I can’t think of even one time in my life when I smelled a woman’s pussy when I did not have my face right down in there. And I work in an office full of women.
Seriously? Is this EVER a problem?
I can maybe kinda sorta see their point if a woman doesn’t FEEL fresh, then she might be self-conscious or something. But other than that? A woman fails to get a raise because she’s filling the office with bitch stank? In what universe?
Douche is really bad for you anyway, and if you are worried about sweat, baby powder works just as well, provided you’re not allergic.
Uh…i feel like I should warn people. Baby powder is not meant to be inserted anywhere. Topical use only, people.
Well, there go my plans for lunch.
I’m not suggesting someone would or may not get a promotion for not being fresh.
However, vaginal odour does occur and can be distracting in a not pleasant way. I would add that I have never noticed it in an office environment.
Especially right before sex. Limp city.
